About the PPTEOE Program
When a column floods, a pump cavitates or product goes off specification, the plant needs a structured answer rather than trial and error. Participants learn a disciplined troubleshooting method, how to read process data, and how to work through common equipment and unit operation problems to a verified cause. Delivered in-house at the client's premises or live virtual for teams, the program leaves engineers and operators able to solve plant problems faster and keep them solved.
What You Will Learn
- Apply a structured troubleshooting method to plant problems
- Analyze process data, trends and material balances
- Identify failure symptoms in pumps, compressors and exchangers
- Evaluate column, reactor and separator performance problems
- Design experiments and plant tests that isolate causes
- Implement corrective actions without creating new problems
- Build a troubleshooting knowledge base for the plant
- Lead cross functional problem solving under production pressure
