———————————————————–

Preparation for Syndicate Exercise no. 8 – Glycol Regeneration Plant

Note:     Participants will be asked to read and understand the instructions for the ‘complex’ HAZOP syndicate exercise : allow approximately one hour.

Day 3 (HAZOP Technique)

Introduction to Process HAZOP Syndicate Exercise

Delegates will undertake a HAZOP study of a more ‘complex’ process – gas dehydration and glycol regeneration. Trainer leads the first node for 20 minutes.
