COURSE OVERVIEW

This course will familiarize engineers, designers and construction personnel with layout, design procedures and practices involved in the location of equipment and layout of piping systems. Traditionally there has been little formal training in this area and design decisions have to be made based on practical considerations without formulae or code reinforcement.
Completing piping arrangements take up the majority of manhours in the design of a process plant and the designer is required to apply acceptable layout procedures. This is an intensive five-day course that will give attendees the background required to complete a typical equipment layout and piping arrangement.
The course will also highlight the equipment layout and plot plans; civil, structural, electrical, instrumentation and maintenance considerations; distribution systems; pipe racks; pumps and piping, layout at horizontal centrifugal, vertical inline, double suction, positive displacement, performance characteristics, maintenance, cavitation, suction piping considerations, strainers, valving, parallel layouts, series layouts, supports, loads at nozzles.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the heat exchanger piping, maintenance requirements, shell and tube, plate, fin fan, valving, T.E.M.A. standards; horizontal and vertical vessels, placement, nozzle orientation, internals, platforms, ladders, manholes, maintenance requirements, valving, instrumentation, process considerations; and the process and utility piping.
