    Cooling Water Systems

    Cooling water systems are an integral part of process operations in many industries.  Industrial production processes need cooling water systems to operate efficiently and safely.  Refineries, steel mills, petrochemical manufacturing plants, electric utilities and paper mills all rely heavily on equipment or processes that require efficient temperature control.  The purpose of this course is to develop a working knowledge, in participants, of the various cooling water systems and the science behind them.  Attendees will gain an understanding of how cooling water systems control temperatures by transferring heat from hot process fluids into cooling water.  

    This course provides participates with information useful for continuous plant productivity, as well as help them gain an understanding of system requirements for safe and efficient operation, proper chemical treatment, and preventive maintenance.  Attendees will also learn about the design of off-shore platform cooling systems and how they provide all process and utility cooling for an entire platform.

    After the completion of this course, participants will be equipped with tools to contribute to the safe operation and management of equipment associated cooling water systems in oil and gas plants and platforms.  The course emphasizes the extreme importance of these systems on the safe and efficient operation of the entire plant.

    This course is mainly targeted to process operators, process technologists, and laboratory and maintenance personnel.  The course can also be applicable to employees working with equipment and materials purchasing, equipment procurement, job planning, and immediate supervisors to the working technicians.

    Participants should have some recent exposure to oil and gas facility terminology.
