Advanced Pipeline Maintenance in Power Plants Training Course

Introduction:

Pipelines play a crucial role in power plants, transporting essential fluids like water, fuel, and steam to and from critical systems. Proper maintenance and management of these pipelines are vital to ensuring the continuous operation, efficiency, and safety of the power plant. This 5-day training course will provide participants with advanced knowledge and practical skills to manage pipeline systems, detect issues early, and implement effective maintenance practices in power plants. The course covers pipeline design, inspection methods, corrosion control, troubleshooting, and the latest technologies for pipeline maintenance.

Objectives:

By the end of this course, participants will:

  1. Understand the principles of pipeline systems in power plants, including fluid flow and pressure.
  2. Learn advanced techniques for pipeline inspection and diagnostics.
  3. Understand the causes of pipeline corrosion and how to mitigate and manage it.
  4. Gain expertise in implementing preventive maintenance and reliability strategies for pipeline systems.
  5. Master troubleshooting techniques for common pipeline failures in power plants.
  6. Learn about the latest technologies in pipeline monitoring and maintenance.
