Process Industries Reliability Program
Maximize uptime and asset reliability in continuous process plants, refineries, chemical and petrochemical facilities.
Course Overview & Scope
A specialised reliability programme for process industries such as refineries, chemical plants, petrochemical facilities, pharmaceutical plants and oil-and-gas operations. It focuses on improving equipment performance, safety, contamination control and operational continuity across critical rotating and static equipment.
Curriculum & Key Modules
Comprehensive 6 core technical modulesAsset Criticality in Continuous Process Operations
Assessing risk, safety hazards, and financial consequences of unexpected shutdowns in continuous production loops.
Critical Turbomachinery: Pumps, Compressors & Turbines
Mechanical seal reliability, API 682 seal flush plans, centrifugal/reciprocating compressors, steam/gas turbine lubrication, and surge protection.
Static Equipment: Heat Exchangers, Piping & Valves
Corrosion mechanisms, fouling management, valve maintenance, non-destructive testing (NDT), and inspection intervals.
High-Temperature Lubrication & Varnish Control
Thermal degradation, varnish mitigation (membrane filtration, ion charge bonding), extreme-pressure additives, and synthetic lubricant selection.
Shutdown / Turnaround Maintenance Planning (TAR)
Scope freeze, critical path scheduling, contractor management, QA/QC checklists, and post-turnaround commissioning.
Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for Process Incidents
Failure investigation workflows, metallurgical analysis basics, logic trees, and institutionalizing corrective actions.
