Overview
This course provides focused training in instrumentation and basic automatic control principles. It addresses practical requirements encountered in oil and gas processing units, utilities and transfer stations. Participants explore the technical principles behind reliable decision-making and day-to-day execution. The learning experience uses relevant field examples, guided exercises and technical discussions. The program is intended for engineers, technical specialists, supervisors and related operational personnel. Content depth, case studies and delivery methods can be adapted to the client’s equipment, priorities and participant experience.
Objectives
By the end of the program, participants will be able to:
- Explain pressure, level, temperature and flow measurements.
- Interpret instrument signals and loop components.
- Understand control modes and PID principles.
- Identify instrument selection and installation constraints.
- Diagnose common measurement and control faults.
- Support safe instrument maintenance and testing.
