Building Services deliver the comfort, security, safety, communication, protection, movement, and control that tenant’s need in their buildings. Without these different systems, the modern Built Environment would simply not function. The correct management, operation, and maintenance of these Building Services systems is therefore crucial. This course begins by examining different Building Services systems and the crucial role they play in making properties work. The course then explores the 14 categories of Building Services to understand different systems and their maintenance requirements. As the course progresses, common maintenance terminology and the procurement of maintenance services are also discussed.
The effective management and operation of an oil and gas terminal are essential for a successful business. The processing, transporting, and storing of crude oil and refined petroleum products, in tank farms, involves custody transfers of partner and commingled stock, significant volumes of data from various sources, and blending operations complexities. In addition, as these liquids are loaded and offloaded in bulk quantities, there is a large transfer of high value that makes it imperative for tank farm operators to efficiently manage their inventory and maximize their return on investment. This training course provides an overview of the American Petroleum Institute API-650, API 620, and API 2610 specifications as well as the API 653 inspection standard. Emphasis is also given both as to safety as well as operability of tank farms and the training includes Seveso III Directive real-life example reports, how they were carried out, and implemented. Upon successful completion of this training course, participants will gain knowledge on oil terminals and tank farms, methods of tank gauging, crude oil product specifications, product blending, and tank mixing, dealing with of oil spill emergencies, cleaning of crude oil and heavy product tanks, understanding and employ a work permit system, pigging operations of oil pipelines, quality assurance and control, contingency and safety procedures.
This course provides a comprehensive understanding of the various types of reciprocating, rotary, and dynamic compressors and pumps. This includes trunk piston, sliding crosshead piston, diaphragm, rotary screw, straight lobe, sliding vane, liquid ring, centrifugal, and axial compressors as well as piston pumps, plunger pumps, rotary pumps, screw pumps, two- and three-lobe pumps, cam pumps, vane pumps, bellows-type metering pumps, diaphragm pumps, canned motor pumps, and centrifugal pumps. Bearings are also covered thoroughly. The characteristics, selection criteria, sizing calculations, sealing arrangements, common problems, repair techniques, as well as the preventive and predictive maintenance of these compressors and pumps, are covered in detail. This course is a must for those who use this equipment. It covers how compressors, pumps, and bearings operate and provides the guidelines and rules that must be followed for their successful application
The process industry is capital-intensive and is characterized by strong and relentless international competition. Certain operations and processes are also high risk. This means that process companies need to be on the top of their game if they wish to survive and grow in these difficult conditions. Building Operational Excellence into the Process Industry has been designed to explain the main factors of operational excellence and how to build them into a coherent improvement program for the process industry. The latest tools and techniques are introduced and explained with a minimum of jargon so that delegates can see how to use them in their situation.
This course covers the construction, design, operation, and maintenance of rotary, centrifugal and rotary compressors and pumps, as well as various topics and types of pumps, compressors, potential problems, maintenance concepts, and troubleshooting techniques. It also covers different alignment methods for pumps such as optical alignment, straight edge / RIM, and Face alignment, reverses cursor alignment, reverses connection, and laser alignment. Participants will learn how to diagnose soft foot conditions and implement correction techniques.
Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) methodology enables the assessment of the likelihood and potential consequences of pressure equipment failures. RBI provides companies the opportunity to prioritize their equipment for inspection; optimize inspection methods, frequencies, and resources; develop specific equipment inspection plans; and enable the implementation of Reliability Centered Maintenance. This results in improved safety, lower failure risks, fewer forced shutdowns, and reduced operational costs.

Maintaining the aging infrastructure such as underground pipelines is a challenge to the oil and gas industry worldwide. Understanding why and how cathodic protection works or fails can help the operator formulate appropriate strategy in managing the pipeline corrosion problems.
This training course aims to identify the scientific methods for evaluating performance in the maintenance department, and to identify the modern methods and systems used in maintenance engineering, where work and tasks entrusted to the maintenance department are listed. During the application of that knowledge, there should be feedback to address any defect in performance or to raise the effectiveness of work.
