This training course provides deep knowledge of corrosion and focuses on the examination and identification of metallurgical problems that occur in process units and methods of monitoring and damage reduction. The equipment costs are a considerable part of the investment in the petrochemical and water industry, and for long-distance, large-diameter pipelines, they can become prohibitively high if the corrosivity of the fluid necessitates the use of corrosion-resistant alloys instead of carbon steel. Better understanding and control of the corrosion of carbon steel can increase its application range and therefore have a large economic impact. Corrosion Control is an essential requirement in Oil & Gas activities. It utilizes the application of engineering principles and procedures to minimize corrosion to an acceptable level by the most economical method. It is rarely practical or economical to eliminate corrosion completely and in practice, one or more of the following methods would be applied. Corrosion monitoring provides an early warning that damaging processes or conditions exist which may result in corrosion-induced failures. Moreover, it indicates the correlation of changes in process parameters and their effect on system corrosion. Corrosion Monitoring is essential to evaluate the service life of pipelines and to detect when would be the nearest replacement/shutdown
This unique program provides the participant with a multi-discipline understanding of Corrosion Control in Oil Production, Refining, and Down-Stream Industries - Technologies, Work Methods, Safety Issues, Planning, and Management.
This program is specifically designed to identify and resolve issues of production planning and scheduling in petroleum refineries that are most commonly encountered by refinery personnel working in this area. Issues of operations scheduling for petroleum refining are discussed in depth. It will also be enhanced with planning and scheduling examples and will provide relevant background information on the subject. Additionally, the program will present a detailed overview of refining process yields, from the crude oil feed to the finished products. Major refining processes are presented and discussed, including feedstock, feedstock preparation, operating conditions, catalysts, yields, product properties, and economics. The program is oriented toward the practical aspects of refinery operations as well as the terminology and economics of refining.
The present state of the art design of piping systems is based on the close interaction and collaboration between system designers and operators. The operator’s experience with running complex piping systems for long periods is an important factor in improving the design. The most delicate design problems are encountered during the expansion of systems when they are made larger or more complex. For a piping system to operate in a problem-free manner, the design and installation of a piping system requires attention to multiple factors. During the past few decades, pipeline systems and technologies have been progressing at a fast pace in all aspects of the design, operation, and automatic control. The systems have grown in size and intricacy, and today’s trends in the industry are aimed at enlarging the flow rates, pipe diameters and working pressures for a wide variety of fluids to be handled, including very complex and difficult ones. All of these factors impose strong requirements on careful design, precise operation and complex control. Pipeline operation engineers and managers have to be sufficiently familiar with the details of fluid flow in piping systems as well as with modern technologies, to make informed decisions on various technical aspects of the designed system and its future operation. There is a need for detailed monitoring of everyday operations, as well as computer-based centralized automatic control of the operation of large systems. At the same time, environmental concerns and safety issues require highly sophisticated monitoring and control systems
In an industrial situation where it is required to measure and control some aspects of a process, it is often the application of the knowledge and the ingenuity of the Engineer or Technician which is relied upon to solve the measurement and control problem. Therefore a fundamental understanding of the principle of operation of a range of sensors/transducers and instrumentation techniques applicable in an industrial situation combined with a working knowledge of Process control techniques and tuning methods equips the Engineer or Technician with the necessary skills and makes them invaluable in their workplace The attendees will investigate the concepts of instrumentation and measurement and will acquire the knowledge relating to the characteristics and properties of the variables being measured. Moreover, the delegate will gain an understanding of the Process control systems and methods used in a modern industrial system This is a practical and hands-on course and where applicable, theoretical studies will be supplemented with practical activities where the delegate will have the opportunity to design, develop, build, test, and evaluate their instrumentation systems
Auditing of Projects and Contractors is a comprehensive training course that will help you to understand the audit planning process and the subsequent execution of the audit of projects and contractors in order to meet the determined audit objectives. This training course seeks to provide you with skills such as project risk assessment, appreciating the scope of risk associated with contractors, and formulating a well-designed audit program. By applying these skills, you will be able to perform a comprehensive audit and obtain sufficient audit evidence to formulate an audit opinion and to report and implement your findings.
The Certified Information Security Auditor (CISA) certification is a widely recognized credential that relies on the prior expertise of IS professionals to create valued personnel with superior knowledge of information systems auditing, control, and security. Delegates will learn about the Five Domains of Information Security Auditing during this CISA training course. To pass the CISA exam and use their certification in the workplace, delegates must have a thorough understanding of these domains, which make up the CISA foundations. Each of these domains has a number of subjects that, when taken together, give a thorough overview of the subject area.

Delegates attending this conference will have the desire to develop or improve their own organization’s internal audit function. The development, improvement, and monitoring of a highly-integrated, internal audit function are essential for the continued financial success, stability, and growth of world-class organizations. A well-designed and effective internal audit system will provide verification and support that accounting and financial policies, procedures, and controls are working adequately. It will establish a system of internal controls and procedures enabling the organization to protect itself from the risk of fraud and meet national and international regulatory requirements. Effective auditing not only reduces risk but also improves procedures, efficiency, and profitability
