This RECTUS training course will also cover important practical aspects useful for engineers and operators in dealing with their basic utilities, including maintenance and troubleshooting of equipment and components Material presented in this training course will help the delegates to understand worldwide recommended guidelines and practises to be followed regarding the efficiency improvement, optimization and safety considerations. Several workshops with real practical examples will be selected to be solved as a team work. They will illustrate the concepts discussed and also provide delegates with necessary experience in applying them. 

• Knowledge for selection of different process plant utilities: steam, water, compressed air, refrigerants, inert gas, fuels, electricity and others 

• Types of equipment used to run process plant with different utilities. 

• Basic aspects of steam generation and distribution, water handling, compressed air utilization and other process utilities 

• Different types of equipment used to run process plant with different utilities. 

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

• Understand the operation and maintenance of main process plant utilities 

• Analyse optimization of stem generation, utilization and distribution 

• Evaluate parameters of water preparation systems 

• Determine the correct selection criteria for compressed air systems 

• Optimize the use of refrigeration, inert gas, fuel supply and electric systems 

This RECTUS training course will benefit all levels of personnel in a process plant environment. It will enable them to understand the design considerations, construction details and operational parameters associated with process heat exchangers.
