COURSE OVERVIEW

 This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Chemical Handling and Injection System Startup, Shutdown, Normal Operations and Troubleshooting. It covers the purpose and significance in industrial processes and the types of chemicals commonly used in injection systems; the chemical properties and compatibility as well as system components and equipment; the process safety and chemical handling; and the regulatory and compliance framework. Further, the course will also discuss how to inspect system components for integrity, verify chemical inventory and storage conditions and review startup procedure documentation; the priming and preparing the injection system; the initial system calibration, chemical transfer procedures and monitoring during startup; the common hazards during startup operations and mitigating overpressurization and thermal expansion risks; the system performance monitoring, chemical inventory management and routine maintenance; the use of PPE, continuous gas detection and monitoring for leaks; and managing and mitigating fatigue or operator errors. 
 During this interactive course, participants will learn the data recording and reporting, managing change in process conditions and planning pre-shutdown procedures; the system depressurization, draining and cleaning the system and deactivating pumps and controls; the post-shutdown safety measures and shutdown documentation; the common issues in chemical injection systems and systematic troubleshooting approach; and the advanced monitoring techniques and preventive maintenance best practices
