ARC Flash & Electrical Safety

Inadequate electrical installation often resulted in fires. In recent years, the community has begun to recognize that in addition to fire and electrocution, arc-flash and arc-blast hazards also result in injury. The knowledge base about these hazards is expanding but is not yet complete. The community knows that as the distance between an employee and an electrical hazard decreases the degree of exposure increases. Employees must understand that they are exposed to these hazards until an electrically safe work condition has been established.

The ARC Flash & Electrical Safety training course provides front-line electrical workers with the information they need to make safe decisions involving their work practices. From this training, they will receive the proper awareness and training needed in order to develop a personal arc flash safety strategy in the workplace.

The key features of the ARC Flash & Electrical Safety training course are:

  • List OSHA electrical safety requirements and design standards 
  • Explain the NFPA 70E for Electrical Safety Requirements 
  • Identify electrical work practices and maintenance requirements 

Cathodic Protection Systems

Corrosion is one of the major causes of ageing the industrial infrastructures. Maintaining the ageing infrastructure such as underground pipelines is a challenge to industries worldwide. Understanding why and how cathodic protection works or fails can help to formulate appropriate strategies in managing the pipeline corrosion problems. Understanding cathodic protection mechanism and how to control corrosion can lead to a remarkable improvement in the operation cost of piping and static equipment.

Proclad Academy’s Cathodic Protection Systems training course is designed to provide the participants with basic understanding of the technology related to cathodic protection, and best practices in designing, operating and maintaining cathodic protection of underground pipelines. This training course also covers typical designs of cathodic protection system, cathodic protection materials, potential measurements, monitoring and maintenance.

The key features of Proclad Academy’s Cathodic Protection Systems training course are:

  • The principles of corrosion mechanism
  • The role of cathodic protection in corrosion control
  • Components used in cathodic protection
  • Testing & maintenance of typical cathodic protection systems

Advanced Alarm Management

Alarm Management is a key element in managing the operational risk of every facility. However, poor handling of the alarm systems – plagued by alarm floods, inaccurate alarms, and suppressed alarms – will diminish situation awareness and continue to negatively impact plant production and safety. An effective alarm system optimization strategy, one that leverages a proven methodology enabled by software automation, addresses these challenges making operators more effective during abnormal situations.

Participants attending Proclad Academy’s Advanced Alarm Management training course will learn and apply best practices in alarm management using real world examples and tools. They will return to their jobs not only with a better understanding of alarm management best practices but also equipped with a set of practical set of techniques, procedures and tools to optimise their alarm management system to increase the productivity, efficiency, product quality, safety, integrity, and security of their processes.

The key features of Proclad Academy’s Advanced Alarm Management training course are:

  • A review of P&ID diagrams, process control, and process safeguarding
  • Alarm management principles and alarm philosophy
  • Alarm identification and rationalization
  • Alarm design, implementation, operation and maintenance
  • Alarm performance monitoring and assessment
  • Use of hands-on tools for alarm rationalization, design, implementation, and operation

Solar Energy: Sustainable Alternative Green Energy

Green Energy is gaining a lot of worldwide attention owing to the challenges nations are facing with the conventional sources of energy. Many public and private sectors are now focusing on the development of Solar Photovoltaic and Thermal as a source of electricity through projects such as the construction of solar PV mini-grids as well as licensing of MW scale PV plants.

Proclad Academy’s most comprehensive and effective Solar Energy training course is intended to provide the participants with the necessary skills and knowledge for the design, installation, commission, inspection and maintenance of solar systems. In addition, participants will be train to operate and maintain PV and thermal solar plants. In summary, this training course has everything you need to know on Solar Photovoltaic and Thermal energy.

Cooling Towers: Operation, Maintenance & Troubleshooting

Cooling Towers are considered a vital element of the overall water-cooling system in power generation plants, as well as in process and petrochemical plants. The efficiency of cooling towers relies on the accurate and reliable information on the outdoor wet bulb temperature, required to avoid cooling tower increased water and energy usage and reduced lifetime of fans and pumps. Operations of cooling towers in general faces many safety and health challenges related to the use of water, which requires continuous control of corrosion rate and microbiological growth, the corresponding chemical and physical water treatments represent important element in the overall energy consumption.

This training course will cover many important aspects of cooling tower process control, correct operation and water management. Methods of efficiency improvement of the cooling tower operation will be explained and discussed. Best practices for preventive and corrective maintenance as well as problem solving, and troubleshooting will be illustrated through several real-world case studies and presented in the form of workshops. Maintenance and repair of the auxiliary mechanical equipment such as fans and pumps will be explained in detail.

The key features of the Cooling Towers: Operation, Maintenance & Troubleshooting training course are:

  • Better understanding of cooling tower technologies
  • Understanding water treatments effective methods
  • Understanding chemical reaction inside cooling towers
  • Knowledge about effective operation and maintenance of cooling towers
  • Complete understanding of water treatment and its impact on performance
  • Knowledge to perform effective inspection & preventive maintenance of equipment
  • Skill to perform RBI and FMEA for cooling towers, most modern and new techniques
