Separation Equipment Selection and Sizing

Instructor by: Bambang Murcahyanto   OVERVIEW  This course covers separation system and production separator description and sizing, we provide the detailed information on selection of stage separation and equipment, selection of the most appropriate equipment for the task, data analysis and the subsequent design of the processes involved for particular separations. The result is a comprehensive theory which is designed to be used frequently and referred to regularly in order to achieve better industrial separations. You will learn the phase types of separation equipment are used based on operating conditions and separation performance requirements. Successful industrial scale separation of solids from liquid level indicator and control requires not only a thorough understanding of the principles involved, but also an appreciation of which equipment to use for best effect. PARTICIPANTS Process/Facilities engineers needing skills for design and troubleshooting of separators. OBJECTIVES The benefit to join this course:
