Experienced Console Operators

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.
