Course Overview

Integrated knowledge of mechanical, electrical, and control engineering is necessary to liaise with professionals from different disciplines and understand systems common to many industries, such as chemical, petrochemical, energy, pharma, and food and beverage. This 4-day course embodies the interdisciplinary nature of these plants and the broad range of concepts and technical documentation that are always involved. The course takes place in a 1 MW bioenergy plant for combined heat and power generation. It is a fully instrumented process plant that comprises 10 control panels and approximately 500 instruments, with a broad range of equipment spread across the four-story building that constitutes the so-called EBRI Pilot Plant (see the Facilities section). You will be trained by a team of professionals on reading complex schematics, understanding plant documentation, mechanical systems, electrical panels, control systems, and some basic troubleshooting. This is achieved by a structured combination of theory, workshops, and live demonstrations, including the opportunity to operate the plant in cold mode from the control room.
