COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators.
This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Blow Down System. It covers the purpose and importance of blow down systems in petroleum operations; the principles of pressure and temperature control and the types and components of blow down systems; the regulatory and industry standards and design criteria for blow down systems; the blow down valve selection and sizing as well as flare system and knockout drum design; the process simulation tools and dynamic blow down studies for emergency situations; and the pressure transients and blow down time calculations and the impact of blow down on process equipment.
Further, the course will also discuss the environmental and safety considerations in blow down design; the best practices in blow down system engineering; the blow down system start-up and shutdown procedures including routine inspection and preventive maintenance; troubleshooting common blow down system issues; the emergency blow down scenarios and response; and the digital monitoring and control of blow down systems; and the safety and compliance in blow down operations.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the hazard identification and risk assessment for blow down; the blow down system safety and integrity management; the environmental impact of blow down operations; the emergency response and blow down system failures; the legal and regulatory compliance in blow down systems; and the future trends and innovations in blow down systems.
