SE-100-3E Bangkok - Modern Methods in Process Control


TOP Control Inc. and the Petroleum and Petrochemical College at Chulalongkorn University are pleased to offer you the following:

SE-100-3E Modern Methods in Process Control
Bangkok, Thailand, August 15-17 2011
At the Chulalongkorn University

Petroleum and Petrochemical College
254 Soi Chula 12, Phayathai Road
Bangkok, 10330Thailand

Objectives: 

Technology in process control evolves rapidly.  This hands-on seminar will permit you to review traditional control techniques and to practice new optimization methods.  As a result, you will be able to evaluate which techniques will help increase your plant's productivity. You will discover new ways of meeting process objectives for today and the process challenges of tomorrow.

Who should attend: Instrumentation technicians and supervisors, production managers, process, electrical, and project engineers.  In fact, anyone concerned with process control performance should attend.

Your Instructor: Dr. Hank Brittain holds a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Georgia Tech, Atlanta.  He has over 20 years experience as a process control engineer and has spent 15 years optimizing processes for a wide variety of industries, including consumer products, crude oil extraction and separation onshore and offshore, refining, chemical production, power generation and boiler control, mining processing, water purification, and NASA Rocket HVAC control.  He has trained thousands of engineers, technicians, and managers in China, Japan, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, Mexico, Canada, South America, Europe, the Caribbean, and the United States.

TOP Control Inc. focuses on process optimization, instrumentation and control.  The courses and technical materials employed are the result of many years of continued evaluation, research and feedback from industry. Many practical examples, as well as simulation software are used when required to facilitate comprehension of the concepts presented during the courses.
