Hands-On Operations Training

Skid

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This large-scale, realistic, industrial process system facilitates
training and practice in field activities regularly undertaken
by process operators within the refining, petrochemical and
oil & gas industries.
Designed to support process technology (PTEC), process
operations programs in US technical college programs, the
device can also be applied to similar process operations
programs in colleges and universities as well as within
industry, directly.
Activities focus on common tasks and formal procedures
undertaken on a daily basis by operators in many industries.
Examples include; chemical injection, product sampling,
strainer maintenance, piping line-up changes, taking
equipment in and out of service, pump change-over, routine
process parameter checks, normal start-up and shutdown.
