Commissioning & Start-Up with API RP 1FSC Foundation

Course Overview

When a project has been fully commissioned and started up, the project will also be a financial success, with the investors receiving their expected returns. When a project has yet to be fully commissioned and started up, it is improbable that it could be a financial success. From an investor’s perspective, the project is a disaster.

After completing the commissioning for all the systems (utilities & process) and achieving the ready-for-start-up certificate, we will start discussing the plant start-up until the plant operation and transferring the products from off-spec to on-spec products. We will discuss the plant performance test and how to handover the plant to the client.

This 5-day interactive Commissioning & Start-Up with API RP 1FSC Foundation training course will empower the participants with keen insight into chemical processes pre-commissioning/commissioning and start-up for petroleum refining & petrochemical and gas plants as it will be going to concentrate on all the project phases, which include the construction and pre-commissioning activities until achieving the Project Mechanical Completion (MCC) and systems ready for commissioning. Moreover, we will discuss all the commissioning activities procedures for all the utilities and process systems in detail.
