Description:

This course reviews the technologies involved in both a basic process control system and a basic continuous emissions monitor system (CEMS). These technologies will include:

• Sample Conditioning

• Analytical Methods

• Networks for Signal Transmission

 

You will be able to:

• Recognize the terminology of basic Hydrocarbon (HC) Chemistry.

• Gain a basic understanding of Gas Chromatography.

• Gain a basic understanding of Spectroscopy Measurements.

• Determine Measurement Technologies for HC Gases & Liquids.

• Gain a basic understanding of Sample Conditioning Technology.

• Gain a basic understanding of Analyzer Signal Networks.

• Come away from this Course with a basic appreciation of how all of the above can function together as an Analyzer System.

 

You will cover:

• Basic Hydrocarbon Chemistry

• Basic Gas Chromatography

• Basic Spectroscopy

• Basic Gas Analyzer Technologies

• Basic Sample Conditioning Technologies

• Basic Signal Transmission (Networks)

• Basic Analyzer System Integration Technology

 

 

Lab and Classroom Exercises:

• Classroom presentation by a 45+ year experienced ISA Fellow who is an internationally recognized Process Analyzer System design and commissioning expert

• No Laboratory Exercises are planned for this Class

 

Course Prerequisites:

• Students should have a job in a Process Industry facility performing process or laboratory analyzer maintenance or they can utilize this Class to gain skills to obtain a position in the Process Industry.

• One (1) year of High School Chemistry.

• ISA CCST Level 1 personnel would benefit significantly from this course.

• Union trade personnel (Electrical and Piping) would gain skills that would make them more valuable to obtain work in Process Industry facilities.
