2. Course Title Analytical Instrumentation
4. Course duration & Commencement Date
This is a 5 day course
5. Number of Participants
A maximum of 10 participants can be accepted for this course
6. Participant Profile (Who should attend)
The analysis of process liquids and gases in today’s oil, gas and chemicals industries requires accurate knowledge of composition and make up of process fluids. This in turn means accurate measurement of those compositions. Without measurement there can be no control and no information as to the state of the process. Similarly, we have no way of knowing if we are causing environmental damage without this type of monitoring. When this criteria is met we will no longer be producing an off-spec product.
A greater understanding of measuring equipment and the associated instruments can improve the performance of the laboratory and plant technician and this in turn will improve plant performance.
Hence, the economic benefits of properly trained and informed technicians can be readily quantified. This Programme is designed for engineers and technicians with a minimum of 5 years experience. Each candidate should have a good command of general English in order to gain maximum benefit from the course.
7. Course Venue
The programme will be conducted at the client's training facilities
