Shell PAS01 PROCESS AUTOMATION SYSTEMS ENGINEERING

Course Introduction

In the oil/gas industries where it is required to measure and control some aspect of a process, it is often the application of the knowledge and the ingenuity of the Engineer or Technician which is relied upon to solve the measurement and control problem. Therefore, a fundamental understanding of the principle of operation of a range of sensors / transducers and instrumentation techniques applicable in an industrial situation combined with an understanding and knowledge of Process control techniques and tuning methods equips the Engineer or Technician with the necessary skills and makes them invaluable in their workplace.

Objectives

The main objectives of this training course are:

• To give an understanding of the principles of operation of a range of sensors and transducers
• By using a hands-on approach, enable the delegate to investigate the operation of an instrumentation system through designing, building and testing typical sensor combined with appropriate signal conditioning circuits
• To allow the delegate to become familiar and confident with a range of measurement techniques
• To understand the concepts of Process Control and acquire the knowledge relating to the characteristics and properties of a process variable being measured
• To become familiar and knowledgeable with PID control and develop the ability to ‘tune’ a process control system using PID control
• To have the confidence and knowledge to apply the above techniques and principles to solve an unfamiliar and bespoke measurement situation in the workplace.

Training Methodology

This course is delivered via a series of mixed activities which will at times involve delegate participation. Theoretical content is delivered by informal lecture and discussion and supplemented where appropriate with tutorial sessions using worked examples. An opportunity is given for delegates to perform their own calculations based on sample systems.

An important part of the program is the hands-on aspect. Approximately, a quarter of the total time will be devoted to practical activities. Delegates will acquire the skills to design their own instrumentation system from a given sensor and specification and also, using relevant software, acquire the skills to ‘tune’ a process control system.

Professional Impact

The delegate will benefit personally from attending this course, and will enhance their own knowledge-base and level of confidence in the area of Sensor Technologies and Process Control Engineering. Specifically, the delegate will be able to:

• Understand the principle of operation of a range of sensors and transducers used in the measurement of flow, temperature, pressure, strain and level
• Review the construction and operation of the most important sensors and transducers and their application in process measurement systems
• Evaluate and select the most appropriate sensor technology for a given instrumentation system
• Identity components and features of a Process control system
• Calibrate and signal condition the above system and take measurements from the system
• Understand the limitations of Open loop systems and be aware of the inherent problems associated with Closed loop negative feedback systems
• Optimize control by tuning a system using relevant software.

Target Audience

This training workshop that introduces managers, engineers and technicians to the latest standards and practices in the application of instrumentations, Automation, ESD, F/G or other applied system in different process.

• Personnel responsible for instrumentation systems
• Instrument and Process Control Engineers and Technicians
• Operations and Maintenance Engineers and Technicians
• Electronic and Instrumentation Engineers and Technicians
• Installation and Maintenance
• Other professions (Engineers, Technicians) involved in the Process Industry who require an appreciation and understanding of the techniques used in Process Measurement and Control
