Course Description
This full day course provides participants with the understanding of the design and operation of Aerial Coolers in the Oil and Gas processing business. The preparation of specification sheets and bid evaluations is discussed along with good practices for layout, installation and operation for maximum performance and minimum downtime. Correct winterization procedures and freeze-protection methods are covered. This course will likely be of interest to Project Engineers, Operations Engineers; Operators and Junior Process Engineers.
A complete set of course materials and lunch is included in this course.
*Participants should bring a laptop to the course if possible – as some workgroup examples will consist of running handout software.*
