Operations and Maintenance
Pumps and Compressors
Much like flight simulator training, this two-day course uses realistic process simulation so operators can practise handling pumps and compressors and their upsets without risk. Trainees build a mental model of the equipment and strengthen the critical thinking they need in the control room. Startup, shutdown and root cause troubleshooting are central themes.
