This course not only illuminates the fundamentals and practical tricks-of-the-trade of process equipment design, it puts it within the context of real operational environments – unlocking the ability of troubleshooting and problem solving from a fundamental understanding of how equipment works. The course material collates a lifetime of comprehensive process equipment knowledge and information focused at the design of new equipment as well as the optimisation, troubleshooting and problem solving of equipment in operation.
The course covers the practical design practices for the following process equipment: General Design Conditions, Plant and equipment simulation, Hydraulics, Piping, Flow Orifices, Control Valves, Vessels, Towers, Pumps, Compressors, steam ejectors, Heat Exchangers, Fired Heaters, Relief Valves and Metallurgy
Attendees would also gain an understanding of the role of Process Engineers, emphasising calculation methods and techniques to troubleshoot and design process equipment. “What set engineers apart from operators and managers is our ability to do calculations. If all you do is analyse process trends and talk in meetings, then you add no value. Make time to do calculations, check them, verify them against plant data and then believe them.”
Cilliers Kruger has a life time experience in process engineering ranging from operational support and troubleshooting, through process design, construction and manufacturing to commissioning and full production again.

The presentation would remain interactive and would benefit all working in the process engineering field - from novice engineers to the most experienced engineers and plant operations staff as well. The full spectrum of troubleshooting methodology, practical approach as well as process fundamentals are addressed in a challenging, stimulating and enthusiastic manner. It is eye opening, challenging and inspiring! Attending his training has often been described as a “career changing event”.
Content is all actual case studies from the Petrochemical; Oil & Gas or Chemical industries covering Distillation; Reboiling and Condensing; Fired Heaters; Pumps, Turbines and Steam Jets; as well as Compressors.
NORMAN LIEBERMAN has authored several highly acclaimed books from his career in design, debottlenecking and troubleshooting 0f process equipment predominantly in the oil & gas, and petrochemical industry. He has taught in excess of 400 technical seminars on process troubleshooting with a very unique interactive style. The case studies from one of his books “A working guide to Process Equipment”, co-authored with ELIZABETH LIEBERMAN forms the basis of the Lieberman Process Troubleshooting Seminar.

KEPNERandFOURIE technology harnesses divergent and convergent thinking process in a structured manner enabling elimination of problem root causes. The course content includes structural prioritisation, root cause identification and solution development. Licensed and presented by Thinking Dimensions Group.
The learning design is competency-based, with many case exercises and a large amount of time dedicated to own-job applications. A “learn – practice – apply” design is used with a major emphasis on the transfer of skills to the workplace. Case practice provides opportunities to use the skills as they are learned. Cases are based on real situations to stimulate discussion and focus participants on the use of specific skills.
Structured own-job application exercises are built into the workshop. Each own-job application has an illustrated introduction to stimulate discussion and focus the participants on the use of specific skills.

This down-to-earth course given by world-renowned distillation expert Henry Kister gives comprehensive coverage of distillation technology, with particular emphasis on the problems that can occur and how to solve them. It provides an excellent opportunity to develop a working knowledge of key techniques that can promote trouble-free operation and reduce distillation costs. Henry will discuss numerous operating experiences throughout the course to illustrate the key principles and to distinguish good from bad practices.
Every delegate will receive a copy of two textbooks written by Henry Kister, Distillation Operation and Distillation Troubleshooting, together with extensive course materials, providing invaluable reference sources after the course.
Henry Kister (FIChemE, Fluor) , 'the tower doctor', is a globally recognised specialist with a vast background in all phases of distillation, including operation, troubleshooting, controls, design, start-up, and research.
At Fluor he designs, revamps and advises on distillation processes, equipment and controls for the chemical, petrochemical and oil industries. He is also extensively involved in field consulting, start-up and troubleshooting assignments and in developing Fluor’s in-house distillation technology.
He is the author of three textbooks - Distillation Operation and Distillation Design (McGraw-Hill Inc., 1990 and 1992) and Distillation Troubleshooting (Wiley Interscience 2006) - as well as the Distillation Equipment chapter in Perry's Handbook (2008, 2018), and over 150 technical articles. He has presented this Practical Distillation Technology course over 550 times.
