1 Training Title MONITOR GAS FLARING & EFFLUENT WATER DISPOSAL Training Duration 10 days Training Venue and Dates Monitor Gas Flaring & Effluent Water Disposal 10days June $7,000 Dubai, UAE Training will be held at any 5 Star Hotels. Exact venue will be informed later Training Fees 7,000US $ per participant for Public Training including Course Materials/Handouts, Tea/Coffee, Refreshments & International Buffet Lunch Training Certificate Define Management Consultancy & Training Certificate of course completion will be issued to all attendees. TRAINING OVERVIEW TRAINING METHODOLOGY A highly interactive combination of lectures and discussion sessions will be managed to maximize the amount and quality of information and knowledge transfer. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions, and motivate everybody find the right answers. You will also be encouraged to raise your own questions and to share in the development of the right answers using your own analysis and experiences. Tests of multiple-choice type will be made available on daily basis to examine the effectiveness of delivering the course. All lectures are in colourful PowerPoint presentation. Student will receive a Manual or work book. Some practical and Demo will be made on the last day INTRODUCTION TO MONITOR GAS FARING As processing units become increasingly complex, with attendant higher levels of stored energy, the design of safe, economically reliable relieving devices and disposal facilities becomes more important than ever. Pressure-relief systems provide the means for protecting personnel and equipment from abnormal operation of a process. Final product costs of refinery operations are becoming proportionally more dependent on processing fuel costs, particularly in the current market, where

2 reduced demand results in disruption of the optimum energy network through slack capacity. Therefore, to achieve the most cost-beneficial plant, the recovery of hydrocarbon gases discharged to the flare relief system is vital; advantages are also obtained from reduced flaring pollution and extended tip life INTRODUCTION TO EFFLUENT WATER DISPOSAL Process industries remain under pressure to reduce effluent volumes and pollutants. Effluent treatment technologies have accordingly increased their sophistication and industrial users are now expected to deploy dedicated units of high efficiency which reliably achieve targets, are robust in operation and generate minimal collateral waste. The course provides a thorough introduction to wastewater treatment technology, covering the full range of physical, chemical and biological processes available. Process selection is approached from first principles, based on the fundamental character of the effluent, but is grounded in practical and economic reality. The treatment and disposal of resulting wastes, especially solids, can be critical in process selection, and this issue is also addressed. The course includes an introduction to the principles of regeneration, reuse and recycle, and describes latest trends and developments. As such it equips both the individual engineer and the organization to act as the 'intelligent buyer' in specifying plant and assessing the claims of vendors. Course Objectives of Monitor Gas Flaring: The course will enable participants to develop the following competencies: Have a good background on Basic Refinery Processes, Major Refinery Products, Product Specification& Petroleum Refining Operation Determine the components and function of the relief systems and be able to know the sizing and installation of the relieving devices Identify the types of flare systems and be able to emphasize their features and application Determine the applicable codes, standards and recommended practices for flare, blow down and pressure relief system Acquire knowledge on product storage and tanks and be able to recognize the importance of product recovery Learn the scope waste heat recovery and understand its role in flare and pressure relief system

3 Course Objectives of Effluent Water Disposal: Learn the purpose, principles of operation and limitations of different treatment technologies Understand how the nature of the wastewater stream(s) informs plant and process selection Understand the downstream and collateral impact of treatment technologies, especially ultimate disposal options Understand concepts of regeneration and recycle systems Prepare for practical problems and real-life projects Enable competence in new and revamped wastewater process projects Ensure that the right effluent treatment technology is selected Improve awareness when communicating with vendors and consultants Better poise for future challenges in the field Improve skills and impact on the development of effluent treatment projects Enhance ability to troubleshoot and improve existing wastewater installations WHO SHOULD ATTEND? The course will be useful for Operations personnel, Operation Supervisors, Maintenance personnel, Maintenance Supervisors, Senior Plant Supervisors, Operations Engineers, Process Engineers, Design Engineers, Cost Engineers and other professionals who desire a better understanding of subject matter.
