Operations and Maintenance
Simulated Amine Plant
A two-day simulator-based course in which operators practise running an amine treating unit and handling its upsets without real-world risk. Trainees build a mental model of absorption and regeneration and strengthen the critical thinking they bring to the control room. Safe startup, shutdown and quick root cause analysis are covered in depth.
