Every programme we run, with the next confirmed dates and locations.
Troubleshooting Process Operations
Replace trial and error with a systematic troubleshooting method. Participants use mass and energy balances to locate where a process is deviating, read trends, laboratory data and field observation together, separate instrument error from genuine process change, and document fixes so they hold.
Fired Heaters, Air Coolers, Heat Exchangers, Pumps, Compressors, Pressure Vessels & Valves
Understand the function, construction and operating limits of each major equipment family. Participants learn to run fired heaters with correct draft, excess air and tube skin temperature, time exchanger and air cooler cleaning against fouling, and select and maintain valves including relief devices.
Flare, Blowdown & Pressure Relief Systems
Understand relief scenarios, sizing basis and the codes governing relief design, then follow the path from relief device through headers and knockout drum to the flare tip. Participants learn to operate blowdown during upsets, maintain flare seal and ignition reliability, and assess load and emissions.
Gas Sweetening & Sulphur Recovery
Understand acid gas removal options and how solvent choice affects selectivity. Participants learn to meet H2S and CO2 specifications reliably, follow acid gas through the Claus train and tail gas clean-up, and troubleshoot solvent quality, foaming and burner air demand problems.
Rotating Equipment: Pumps, Turbines & Compressors Technology: Design, Selection, Operation, Control, Inspection, Maintenance & Troubleshooting
Select machine type and configuration from process duty, head, flow and fluid properties. Participants interpret performance curves against system resistance, weigh seal, bearing, lubrication and control design choices, and apply condition monitoring and inspection practice.
Distillation Design, Operation, Control & Troubleshooting
Apply vapour-liquid equilibrium and stage concepts to how columns actually behave. Participants weigh reflux ratio, feed stage and energy trade-offs, tune control schemes for stable separation, and diagnose fouling, flooding and off-specification product from pressure and temperature profiles.
Process Plant Start-Up and Commissioning
Plan commissioning by system rather than by discipline, with clear handover boundaries. Participants complete pre-commissioning checks — flushing, drying, tightness testing, loop checks — then introduce utilities, feed and catalyst in a controlled, reversible sequence.
Hydrotreating Catalyst Reactor Technology
Understand hydrotreating catalyst composition, promoters and pore structure, and the loading practices that protect run length. Participants apply grading and sulphiding procedures, model deactivation against bed temperature, manage quench distribution, and judge when to regenerate, rejuvenate or replace.
Operations of Process Equipment: Fired Heaters, Heat Exchangers, Air Coolers, Piping, Pumps, Compressors and Process Control Troubleshooting
Operate the main equipment families to their design intent day to day, and read the control system alongside them. Participants learn cascade and override schemes, spot tuning problems, and link equipment symptoms to control behaviour rather than chasing instrument drift and valve stiction separately.
Hydrotreating Technology
Understand how hydrotreating meets fuel quality and downstream feed specifications. Participants compare unit configurations for naphtha, distillate and residue service, evaluate hydrogen consumption and recycle gas purity, and identify the operating levers that extend cycle length.
Fundamentals of Petrochemicals Industry
Understand the technical features, terminology, and primary feedstocks (Oil, Gas, NGLs, Coal) of the petrochemical sector.
Certificate of the Business Continuity Institute (CBCI)
A specialised programme building the competencies required for Business Continuity Management Systems, set in the real operational context of Kuwait's oil, gas and petrochemical sectors. Participants prepare for the Business Continuity Institute certificate alongside applied practice.
