3 Course outline This course is intended for operators / shift supervisors from ammonia process backgrounds and for engineers, technicians and managers who support ammonia plants projects and operation. The development of the course has been steered by an expert group of ammonia process, process safety and material and corrosion professionals with a reputable worldwide reputation. The ammonia technology is well represented with case studies in discussion collated from trainers personal experience on site as well as from the last 50 years of Safety in Ammonia Plants and Related Facilities Symposium organized by AIChE. Throughout the course extensive use will be made of a range of real life case studies and of group discussions. KEY TOPICS The training program agenda will cover specific technical issues related with Ammonia Plant Start-up, Operation, Troubleshooting, Corrosion and Safety. Main topics covered during the training course are: Ammonia Process Technology Environmental, Safety and Healthy Aspects in Operation of Ammonia Plants Ammonia Plant: Start-up and Operation Errors in Performing Standard Procedures Problem, Failure and Troubleshooting of Ammonia Plant Turnaround, shutdown and outage management Commissioning after turnaround Ammonia Stress Corrosion Cracking (NH3- SCC) in Liquid Ammonia Storage Tanks Corrosion Failure Modes in CO2 Removal Systems Corrosion Failure Modes in Steam and Condensate Systems of Ammonia Plants Sections and Equipment with most Safety Hazards in Ammonia Plants Major Safety Risks in Ammonia Plants Key findings in safety studies and analysis for Ammonia plants Operational incidents and corrective actions in Ammonia plants: o Operational incidents in Reforming section of Ammonia plants o Operational incidents in CO2 removal section of Ammonia plants o Operational incidents in Methanation section of Ammonia plants 2

4 o o Operational incidents in Synthesis section of Ammonia plants Operational incidents in Ammonia Storage tanks. Learning Outcomes By the end of this course, you will: Appreciate the reasons why plant operation goes wrong and apply those to your company s situation, Develop knowledge about specific topic areas related to major accidents in ammonia plants and how to reduce the related risks, Create simple structures to identify risks, manage risk, highlight issues and take action, Learn to identify and undertake some immediate improvement actions for different sections of ammonia plants, Ways to minimise the impacts in case of process upsets and incidents - interactive case studies, Develop a working knowledge of key techniques that can promote trouble-free operation and reduce operation cost, Learn about the importance of process safety and the various approaches to process safety. Who will benefit Ammonia plant operators, technicians and superintendents Mechanical engineers, Production engineers, Instrumentation and control engineers, Electrical engineers, Safety and risk engineers, Maintenance engineers, Project engineers. 3
