Overall Description:
This Design Criteria in Instrumentation Engineering training course focuses on getting the plant instrumentation component selection and integration just right. It progresses from selection, documentation, classification, and right through to final project management. At all times, it is actively presented, to fit in with the working environment of the delegates.
Course Objectives:
- Assist in crucial decisions for instrument design and selection.
- Interpret drawing and diagrams related to newly designed instrumentation.
- Have a full understanding of the various process control strategies and how to implement them.
- Implement hazardous area zones and select appropriate instrumentation and equipment for them.
- Manage a project appropriately, from design to handover.
