Asset Integrity Management On-demand Training Courses

Engineering, Failure Analysis, Non-Destructive Testing and Asset Integrity

Management training modules for the power generation, oil & gas, and
petrochemical industry.

Severe shortage of experienced and trained workforce has been forecasted in the energy industry. Industry sectors of
coal, natural gas, renewable and nuclear power generation, oil and gas, and the chemical industry, have estimated a
significant portion of their current workforce will retire within the next decade.

Employers must hire and train their technical staff to counter the situation as well as prepare for new technologies and
regulatory requirements being introduced in the industry.

Intertek brings its years of expertise and knowledge to the course content. Our asset integrity management training
courses are aimed at managers and technical staff, with industry specific and practical applications to ensure that your
assets can continue to operate safely, efficiently and reliably.

and the manageable impacts using real operating data. We will provide an overview of the methodology of a
cycling analysis and an understanding of the two types of cycling analysis and the benefits. Market options for low
load operation rather than on off cycling will be discussed as well as typical countermeasures for low impact
cycling for base load designs of conventional steam and CCGT plants. Cycling countermeasures with a cost benefit
analysis will be discussed and typical cost benefits from real customers. Then we will cover diagnostics and
Troubleshooting of Damaging Transients or Aware-RealTime (Aware RT).
