ICE065 Practical Process Control & Instrumentation: Measurement & Sensors H.H. Sheikh Sultan Tower (0) Floor Corniche Street Abu Dhabi U.A.E www.ictd.ae ictd@ictd.ae
Course Introduction: Globalization has placed increasing demands on modern process control in terms of quality, safety, flexibility and costs. However, more efficient control can only be achieved through better measurement when the process instrumentation provides the correct information. This course, Process Control & Instrumentation - Measurement and Sensors, is designed to provide engineers and technicians with the theoretical and practical knowledge involved in the selection, application, installation and commissioning of industrial instrumentation and on-line analytical instrumentation. Designed for both novice and experienced engineers and technicians, this workshop provides an insight into modern instrumentation practices covering the elements of pressure measurement, level measurement, temperature measurement, flow measurement, and online analytical instrumentation practices together with the elements of ph, conductivity, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, chlorine, IR spectroscopy and chromatography. Course Objectives: Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to: Understand the fundamentals of process control Appreciate the major technologies used in the measurement of flow, temperature, pressure, and level Review the construction and operation of the most important process instruments Evaluate and select the appropriate instrumentation system Install process equipment correctly Optimise control with effective selection and installation of your process equipment Calibrate and troubleshoot instrumentation systems Isolate and rectify instrumentation faults Review the construction and operation of the most important analytical instruments Troubleshoot problems in the measurement of ph, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, and chlorine, etc. Implement procedures for testing and calibration of analytical instruments Who Should Attend?
