Process Control: Instrumentation, Troubleshooting and Problem Solving AL Mawred Speciality Training

Process Control: Instrumentation, Troubleshooting and Problem Solving

Why Attend

This course provides a complete and up-to-date overview of the process control, instrumentation and troubleshooting techniques used to solve process problems. It will provide participants with the knowledge and skills needed to troubleshoot and solve various problems encountered when working with instrumentation and controls systems.

They will review process measurement fundamentals and gain a sound understanding of the operation and set up of transmitters before elevating their knowledge onto more complex concepts of process control.

The different control concepts and strategies will be covered allowing participants to identify which one to apply to their own work in order to effectively operate and troubleshoot a process. A 7-step systematic method of troubleshooting will be provided in order for all participants to logically and effectively troubleshoot a system regardless of the type of system.

AL Mawred Speciality Training
Overview
Course Methodology

This course offers practical exercises that will allow all participants to use the knowledge they gained to demonstrate their skills in troubleshooting a process problem.

Participants will be provided laptops and immersed into an interactive environment where they will learn how to:

- Perform calculations of turn down ratio required for a specific application

- Provide measurement solutions

- Calculate the given current output for any given input to the transmitter

- Calculate the time constant for a process

- Arrive at base values for the parameters of proportional, integral and derivative values

Course Objectives

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

  • Operate the most common measuring process parameters
  • Demonstrate the ability to properly set up a transmitter to measure pressure, flow, level and temperature
  • Define and apply control concepts including self-regulating and non-self-regulating processes, positive/negative feedback and process time constant
  • Outline the major control strategies and identify which one to apply in order to effectively operate and troubleshoot a process
  • Use the 7-step systematic troubleshooting process to logically troubleshoot a system regardless of the type of system
