TRAINING
Overview
PANTAC System Control provides training services dedicated to rotating machinery, process safety and mission critical controls.
Gas Turbine Instrumentation and Control
2 day course introducing the What, Where, Why, How and When of gas turbine instrumentation and control.
The course is designed for operators and maintainers of all types of gas turbines, providing an introduction to gas turbine instrumentation and control solutions.
The course is divided into logical plant areas and addresses the What is it, Where is it installed, Why do we need it, How – measurement, How – Control, and When is it applied, of each section, i.e. air inlet filter house, lube oil system, compressor, combustion system.
Gas turbine handbook’s tend to focus on mechanics and materials with little or no information on the controls. This course is designed for instrument electrical technicians, operators and engineers of all types of gas turbines. Course material includes many Australian power plant references to cover the various types of technologies available in the industry, i.e. dry low NOx, wet low NOx, pre-mix and nozzle mix combustion
Turbine Functional Safety Competency Certification
3 day course designed to raise awareness, develop and assess competency of personnel involved in turbine functional safety management for both new and retrofitted gas / steam turbine critical control systems.
Rotating Machinery Master Class
1 day course introducing safety instrumented systems and critical control systems architectures for mission critical rotating machinery control applications. The day is divided into four sessions as follows; steam turbine safety and control solutions, gas turbine safety and control solutions, compressor control, generator control.
The course is ideal as an introduction to safety and control system architectures applied to turbine controls. Relevant industry trends are presented, complete with an overview of historical developments, current market place and architectures to be released over the next 10 years.
Surge Control and surge valve sizing
2 day course designed for engineers responsible for compressor control (centrifugal, axial). This course material is suitable for engineers with medium level applications knowledge and is tailored to enhance that experience with further training.
The course material and length is generally tailored to suit the attendees requirements.
