Course Objectives:
The experienced Console Operator must be given a unit-specific refresher training to maintain and enhance their operating skills, especially when there have been changes to the processing equipment, process control strategies , or safety shutdown systems.
This training is custom-designed for your specific unit with:
- Your DCS graphics
- Your processing equipment
- Your process control (including advanced control)
- Your safety shutdown system
The courses offered for this custom training cover the following topics:
- Changes to Process Flow and Control
- Changes to Equipment and its impact on Distillation, Furnace Operation, and Reactor Operation
- Changes to Safety Shutdown Logic
- New Troubleshooting Guide
- Changes to Emergency Response
- Comprehensive knowledge of daily operation (raising and lowering feed rate, adjusting for off-test product, proactive monitoring)
Additionally, it is helpful to enhance the training for experienced console operators using recent incidents and covering situational awareness. “What-If” scenarios can be developed based on actual data to capture learning opportunities from each and every unit upset, emergency, or close call.
