Transport of solids in the form of hydraulic and pneumatic conveying has progressed enormously since its beginning over a century ago. Industries concerned with the processing of particulate solids have employed hydraulic or pneumatic transport of solids in almost all plants: the examples of catalyst, polymer particles, china, clay, pigments, paints, foodstuffs, etc. In these process industries, the greatest bulk is in the solid-state and almost always in particulate form. In the chemical industry alone, the value of the product formed as particles is greater than 30% of the whole. The handling of particles is very important and often done wastefully from an engineering point of view. Improvements could lead to considerable savings over a wide range of industries. Because of the complex nature of the interaction between solid particles and intervening, the subject of transport solids in the form of hydraulic transport and pneumatic conveying is difficult and multi-faceted. The entire system is difficult to design and it is even more important to be operated and maintained properly. To decide whether hydraulic or pneumatic transport is a viable solution, it is necessary to know the costs of the entire process including solids preparation, pumping or compressing, pipeline, and solids post-processing. The course is very practical and provides information on materials, equipment, design, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting
This program is specifically designed to identify and resolve issues of production planning and scheduling in petroleum refineries that are most commonly encountered by refinery personnel working in this area. Issues of operations scheduling for petroleum refining are discussed in depth. It will also be enhanced with planning and scheduling examples and will provide relevant background information on the subject Additionally, the program will present a detailed overview of refining process yields, from the crude oil feed to the finished products. Major refining processes are presented and discussed, including feedstock, feedstock preparation, operating conditions, catalysts, yields, product properties, and economics. The program is oriented toward the practical aspects of refinery operations as well as the terminology and economics of refining.
The training course of Aspen HYSYS: Process Modeling MBA, is prepared for those who have A background in chemical/process engineering, the oil/gas industry, or petroleum refining, and Basics of and handling the Aspen HYSYS Steady-state simulation.
The importance of effective health and safety training in the oil and gas industry is highlighted by extensively reported examples of major process safety incidents including the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion in the Gulf of Mexico, the Buncefield oil storage depot explosion (2005), the 1988 Piper Alpha oil platform explosion (both occurring in the UK) and the BP Texas Refinery explosion in 2005
Mechanical engineering is at the center of the chemical, oil, gas, and petrochemical industries. It requires familiarity not only with sound engineering principles, but also with other engineering techniques including inspection, monitoring, and condition evaluation. The mechanical engineer is interested in safe containment and movement of solids, liquids, and gases. Of specific importance are material properties, design, static & rotating equipment design, inspection, and repair as well as an understanding of maintenance strategies and condition monitoring.
LNG is natural gas that has been converted to liquid form by cooling -160C for the ease of storage, transportation, and distribution. Natural gas currently accounts for 22% of the aggregate global energy supply. LNG is the most energy-efficient fossil fuel— it offers important energy-saving benefits when it is used instead of oil or coal. It is also a source of hydrocarbons for petrochemical feedstock and a major source of elemental Sulphur. Its popularity as an energy source is expected to grow substantially in the future because LNG can help achieve two important energy goals for the twenty-first century— providing the sustainable energy supplies and services needed for social and economic development and reducing adverse impacts on global climate and the environment in general. This interactive, application-driven 5-day LNG Supply, Demand & Pricing online training course will highlight the wide array of LNG business features from beginning to end. This Oil & Gas Technology online training course is designed to help managers and professionals to expand their business knowledge and stay on top of LNG business dynamics.
This program will provide the participants with an integrated view of the hydrocarbon production and related facilities during the life of the reservoir. It will present an overview/fundamental understanding of the wide range of oilfield production handling and treatment equipment. With this view and tools and knowledge on the properties and flow of the fluids provided in this training session, the participant will be able to understand the behavior of the fluids from the reservoir up to end-users. The training gives a strong emphasis on the calculation of reserves, fluids properties from the reservoir through a gathering network. This knowledge is necessary for the surface facility engineer to design or operate the equipment and facilities
Money laundering requires an underlying, primary, profit-making crime (such as corruption, drug trafficking, market manipulation, fraud, tax evasion), along with the intent to conceal the proceeds of the crime or to further the criminal enterprise. These activities generate financial flows that involve the diversion of resources away from economically- and socially-productive uses—and these diversions can have negative impacts on the financial sector and external stability of member states. Terrorism needs money to operate. Terrorists need funds to purchase weapons, equipment, supplies, and services. Financing for terrorist activity may come from the public (government-sponsored terrorism) or private (individuals, businesses, charities, nongovernmental organizations [NGOs]) sources, often in the form of many small donations. Funds may be generated from legal or criminal activity. Activities to prevent and deter terrorist financing activities are varied and many. The FATF 9 Special Recommendations on Terrorist Financing suggest some methods of combating those activities.
The Certified Government Auditing Professional certification program is designed especially for auditors working in the public sector at all levels — federal/national, state/provincial, local, quasi-governmental, or crown authority — and is an excellent professional credential that prepares you for the many challenges you face in this demanding environment.
