Description

Starting up a refinery is a critical phase in any oil and gas project.

Mistakes during this stage can lead to delays, increased costs, and safety risks. Understanding the fundamental steps of commissioning and startup is essential for a smooth and efficient transition from construction to operation.

Imagine this:

During walkdown, you notice missing insulation or disassembled flanges.

What’s your next move? Do you proceed with startup, or is this an issue that needs to be resolved before startup? Knowing how to make decisions and handle such situations is crucial for a safe and successful startup.

This course provides an overview of key processes and best practices involved in commissioning and startup. You will learn about the stages of systems completion, the difference between pre-commissioning and commissioning, and the essential steps for ensuring a safe and efficient startup.

What you will learn

• the main steps of systems completion and handover
