Hazards of Water
ISBN:
Every year we see incidents related to water. Incidents such as operators being burned by high temperature water, fires being started from static water flows, and foam-overs occurring in tankage due to the presence of water. This course will help operators learn how to guard against water in feed tanks, in new suction line-ups and in units during start-ups.
Learning outcomes
By the end of this course, you will understand:
- how water is used within process engineering
- the potential threats and the possible causes
- how to recognise the warning signs associated with water use, before accidents occur
Who is it for?
Process engineers, operators, supervisors, maintenance engineers and design engineers.
What do you get?
- downloads of all modules (usually an hour each)
- most modules have a FAQ section at the end
- digital copies of slides and supporting materials (PDF)
- e-certificate of attendance, including hours allocation for CPD purposes (on request)
