An Intensive 5-day Training Course
Safety in Process Design
Integrating Safety and Risk Mitigation into Process Engineering


CLASSROOM DATES
INTRODUCTION
This highly interactive Safety in Process Design training course will help you to learn about the modern approach in process design in oil and gas and Process industries, often called “Inherently Safer Design”. By applying this approach hazards are identified and the risks in operation are reduced through systematic risk assessment.
This training course by EuroMaTech will provide important principles of process design in the framework of Process Safety Management. The training course will include several workshops with case studies and worked examples that will serve as interactive exchange of ideas and will enhance knowledge and experiences of all participants.
Participants attending this Safety in Process Design training course will develop the following competencies:
- Design based on standards for safe operation of process equipment
- Selection and sizing of safety valves and pressure relief systems
- Proficiency in process hazards analysis: HAZOP, LOPA, FMEA
- Ability to detect and prevent catastrophic accidents
- Inspection of vital process equipment
TRAINING OBJECTIVES
This Safety in Process Design training course aims to enable participants to achieve the following objectives:
- Role of Safety in Process Design
- “Inherently safer design” incorporated in Process Design
- Mechanical integrity and fitness for service (FFS) of process equipment
- Risks associated with process fluids and material degradation
- Code requirements for sizing pressure relief valves
- Emergency De-Pressuring Systems (EDP) in case of fire and explosion

TRAINING METHODOLOGY
The EuroMaTech training course will be conducted along workshop principles with formal lectures and interactive examples, which will result in the active participation of all delegates in discussions and teamwork. Real life examples will be selected to illustrate the efficient operation and potential technical failures as well as their root causes. There will be ample opportunities for active, open discussion and sharing professional experiences on various safety issues.
TRAINING SUMMARY
The training course covers essential skills such as hazard identification and risk mitigation that is incorporated in the modern approach in the Safety in Process Design which is developed and accepted as Inherently Safer Design. This will allow you to develop other aspects Safety that are necessary for efficient operation of process equipment in modern industrial organization.
