PLANTSERV^® Academy – Conventional Trainings

Master Plant Operations by Building Expertise Through Our Four Core Training Modules

The PLANTSERV^® training program is designed to upskill plant operators, empowering you with the knowledge and capabilities you need for safe, efficient and reliable operations. The program is divided into four core modules, each one dedicated to specific plant management and performance topics. For your flexibility, our experts can deliver the training at your premises, at our Pullach facility, or virtually via MS Teams. All modules apply to all process plants.

Module 1: Plant Operations and Control

This module addresses various operational, control and troubleshooting challenges so you can achieve operational excellence. You will gain expertise in different technologies, production processes and safety protocols for secure, compliant operations. Specific skill-building exercises could focus on anything from process flow analysis (Process Flow Diagrams – PFDs), P&ID and feed treatment to reforming, purification and heat recovery. Module 1 also covers essential operational strategies for startup and shutdown as well as insights into utilities and steam systems.

This training equips you with a versatile skillset to confidently manage and optimize energy usage, reduce costs, enhance troubleshooting and maintenance processes, and develop proactive problem-solving capabilities.

Module 2: Equipment and Process Details

This module provides an in-depth understanding of the operation, maintenance and optimization of key equipment and process units so you can achieve operational excellence through smooth, reliable and efficient plant performance. You will gain practical, proactive problem-solving skills in preventive maintenance aimed at minimizing breakdowns and extending asset life.

The structured curriculum focuses on specialized gas processing equipment such as precooling systems, molesieve adsorbers, cryo-pumps, compressors and storage systems. Module 2 also covers troubleshooting and operational techniques for furnaces, advanced cracking technologies, reactors, reformer tubes, rotary equipment, columns, heat exchangers and more – across complex industrial systems.

Module 3: Plant and Process Safety

Module 3 is designed to foster a safety excellence culture by promoting adherence to safety protocols and best practices for process and environmental safety.

The training equips you with in-depth safety knowledge spanning critical topics such as hazard and risk studies (e.g. HAZID, HAZOP, QRA, RAM and RCA), process and equipment safety, materials degradation, corrosion protection, insulation systems, passive fire safety, noise and vibration troubleshooting and environmental safety. You will develop specialized skills to reduce accidents and establish compliance with safety standards, effectively handle materials like cryogens and respond proactively to potential risks, including appropriate fire and leak response procedures. You will also have a chance to explore strategies focused on energy efficiency and sustainability goals underpinned by resilient and secure plant operations.

Module 4: Maintenance and Reliability

Well-trained operators have the ability to improve productivity, extend asset lifecycle and enhance reliability by proactively identifying potential problems – as long as they are equipped with the right tools and systematic problem-solving skills. This module is designed to empower you with precisely those skills.

The training focuses on preventive maintenance techniques and best practices to reduce unplanned downtime, optimize equipment operation and enhance overall plant efficiency. Key topics include troubleshooting plant failures and trips, plant supervision, product quality control, cooling water systems, boiler water chemistry, analyzers handling and calibration and manual sampling. These sessions give you a structured approach to maintenance, and process reliability.

Investing in Your Team is Worth It: The Key to Safety, Efficiency and Excellence.

Well-trained staff is crucial for plant safety. Investing in training not only enhances efficiency but also reduces costs – making a commitment to continuous learning essential if you wish to achieve operational excellence over time.
