Process Control Valves and Actuators

Mechanical Engineering

Objectives:

By the end of this training course, participants should be able to:
- Comprehend valve operation
- Understand and appreciate assorted common valve types
- Size and select the correct valve set (including actuators), suited to each specific application
- Choose suitable positioners, based on prevailing conditions
- Use multiple techniques to tune a valve-controlled process

Outline:

Day 1: Introduction and Theory
Day 2: Valve Specifics, Characteristics and Sizing
Day 3: Actuators, Positioners, Trims, Maintenance and Safety
Day 4: Process Control Using Control Valves
Day 5: Optimum Control, Using Control Valves

Methodology:

This training course starts off from basics, and builds up to an advanced level, as far as control and using valves and actuators, are concerned. None-the-less, it is presented in such a way that even total novices will feel comfortable from the very beginning. No-one is left behind, and the instructor takes pride in guiding all delegates along the way, with personal assistance, where required.
Delegates are encouraged to keep an open mind and to immerse themselves in all exercises and discussions, to ensure that maximum learning takes place. Preference will always be given to applications and examples that tie up with the working environment encountered by the delegates
