Introduction

Planned Shutdown, Critical Activities, Isolation, Start-up & Commissioning

What are the Goals?

An organization’s personnel must familiarize themselves with the new equipment, processes and technologies, and develop the relevant operating and safety procedures. Successful commissioning of new facilities involves all the activities of: preparation and planning; mechanical completion and integrity checking; P&ID checking and verification; pre-commissioning and operational testing; commissioning; start-up; initial operation; performance testing and acceptance and post commissioning. This training course will support to create awareness of planning methods and an integrated organizational approach in the execution of successful turnarounds

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

  • Do a successful commissioning & start Up Operations
  • Learn the technical strategy for bringing the plant from being a construction site to an operating plant
  • Manage the shutdown, outage & turnaround for the plant facilities
  • Develop a good plan for any critical isolation activities
