The initial start-up of any plant, irrespective of size, type, or industry, is a unique occurrence. Therefore, start-up poses some special problems. Lack of experience in dealing with these problems has frequently resulted in prolonged and costly startups. This 10-day course will provide guidelines for all those involved in the execution of a project on how to achieve a successful plant start-up. The requirements for start-up oriented thinking at all stages of the project, from engineering to commissioning, will be demonstrated.
The course covers estimating of start-up costs, personnel requirements, and resources. It defines the vital role of project management and plant personnel in the preparation and planning for successful start-up of any process plant. Emphasis is on effective planning and use of available resources, both material and manpower.
Troubleshooting performed during the actual start-up can be very expensive and must be done as effectively as possible. This course demonstrate how effective troubleshooting can minimize the time and cost of going from the initial start-up to full production. The last day will provide a review of techniques and discussion of numerous examples to develop skills in troubleshooting.
