VALVES, ACTUATORSAND STEAM TRAPS :

SIZING, SELECTION, OPERATION & MAINTENANCE

12 - 16 Novr 2017, Muscat

08 - 12 Apr 2018, Dubai

04 - 08 Nov 2018, Muscat

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?The Valve, Actuator and Stream Traps training programme is designed to provide a practical insight for personnel who interface with valves, actuators and steam traps in the Oil and Gas, Minerals Processing, Mining and Heavy Industries, or work in the engineering consulting industry servicing these clients.

It is specifically tailored to suit those who have a basic understanding of electrical principals, and require further knowledge of valve, actuator and steam trap systems to more effectively manage their work and where necessary execute multi-discipline projects. Personnel who should attend are:

• Project Professionals and Engineers• Facilities Engineers• Process and Chemical Engineers• Maintenance Technicians• Design Engineers• Mechanical, Electrical and I&C artisans• Supervisors and foremen who supervise personnel working on this equipment

It is also a useful introduction for inexperienced Electrical, Mechanical and I&C engineers (i.e. graduates and the like) to gain an understanding of the practical issues that they will face in their careers.

PROGRAMME OBJECTIVES• Understanding the principles, purpose and operation of valves, and valve signals• Understanding flow conditions and pressure drops related to valves• Understanding flow conditions, Cv, Pv, cavitation and flashing, associated hardware

(filters, regulators, etc.)• Reviewing valve guiding options• Understanding the fundamentals of an assortment of valve types (including shutdown

and pressure relief valves)• Being able to interpret P&ID drawings containing valves• Understanding leakage rates, valve characteristics and how inherent characteristics

affect installed characteristics• Implementing valve sizing, selection and choice o materials• Understanding the most common and important forms of actuators• Implementing noise and cavitation control and limitation• Learning about valve maintenance and faultfinding• Understanding how PID controller affect control valves, and the individual settings of the

controller, and how these valves may be utilized in an assortment of specialized control loops

• Understanding the purpose, requirements and function of steam traps• Learning about the assortment of steams traps currently available• Dealing with steam trap selection, specification, safety factors, life-cycle costs, problems

and management

TRAINING METHODOLOGYThe Valve, Actuator and Steam Traps training course will combine presentations with interactive practical exercises, computer simulations, individual exercises, group exercises, open and closed discussions, video presentations, paper exercise activities, case studies, individual understanding assessments after each chapter, and a comprehensive pre-and post-test, to ensure learning has taken place. Delegates will be encouraged to participate actively in relating their particular work requirements, problems and challenges at their workplace, and in assisting in finding solutions.

Adequate time will be allocated for group discussions, both during and at the end of each session. This will include detailed case studies and anecdotes based on the subject matter and the facilitator’s own experience in the field.

Valves, Actuators and Steam Traps:Sizing, Selection, Operation & Maintenance

INTRODUCTIONThis highly participative training programme is designed to provide participants with the skills to understand how valves and actuators are sized, selected and maintained, and how they operate in the most important industrial process plants, such as oil and gas, etc. Emphasis is also place on the important topic of steam traps, and the aspects related to this.

The Valves, Actuators and Steam Traps training programme is interactive and encourages delegates to participate through questions and answers, along with opportunities to discuss with the presenter specific issues which may result in appropriate solutions. Participants will learn:

• How valves operate• Dealing with various control and

other signals• The various classifications of valves• Different types of valves• Additional equipment associated

with valves• Manual and software sizing of

va lves• Actuators• Valve positioners• Cavitation and noise control• Selection of vales, based on

materials used• Controlling valves, using 3-term

controller, and valves in assorted loops and applications

• The basics of steam and steam heating

• The need for steam traps, and their functions

• The different types of steam traps• Steam trap problems and
