On-Line Analyzer System Design Overview
(AP04P v1.0)
Length: 1 day
CEU Credits: 0.7
Course Hours: 8:00 am - 4:30 pm
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.
