Why Apply For This Course?
Would you like to become an expert in improving the energy efficiency of heat exchanger networks?
To be able to develop energy efficiency studies and offer your knowledge to industry clients?
But you lack practical knowledge from real-life industry examples and are not sure which steps you need to take?
Maintaining good performance of the heat exchanger networks is a major part of an energy efficiency program and pinch analysis is a brilliant technique to do that because it is both simple and practical!
With this 4-week online course, you will learn all the phases of pinch analysis, from obtaining the data, generating energy targets, identifying mayor inefficiencies, defining and evaluating improvement options, to selecting the best option and providing the solution.
You will be guided to build your own study, step-by-step, based on a real industry example, supported by templates and best practices. You will also be able to discuss the industry challenges with your classmates and instructor.
This course will give you the required knowledge to be able to tackle your own problems generating better energy recovery networks in all industries, from oil&gas and petrochemical processes to smaller-scale chemical processes.
Invest in yourself and use this opportunity to build or improve your own consultancy expertise.
There is no risk for you because if you don't find this course valuable, you have 7 days upon the start of the course for a money-back guarantee. However, we believe you will not need it because we trust you will see the value in practical tips we will share, not only related to energy efficiency studies but the general approach to process optimization.
The course starts SOON. Sign-up with your email to stay informed.
