Training Basic Instrumentation For Process Operators

Course Description

Instrumentation plays a critical role in the measurement and control of modern process plant operation. Instruments are used to measure and control the condition of process streams as they pass through a plant and to automatically stop or shutdown the process if the parameters exceed certain limits. This module provides fundamental knowledge & understanding of Process Control Systems and Elements and Electronic Control Instrumentation.

Course Objectives

  • Identifying the  Integral Control Safety System Concept
  • Identifying the Control Loop components and to describe their function
  • Describing equipment used to measure process variables
  • Explaining the different types of control loops
  • Identifying and state the main features of combined control loops
  • Describing the use of cascade control
  • Describing the use of ratio control
  • Describing the use of feed-forward control
