Advanced Certificate in Process Automation

This Gulf Rowad online training course will utilize a variety of proven online learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension, retention of the information presented. The training course is conducted online via an Advanced Virtual Learning Platform in the comfort of your choice location.

Delegates will understand all the technical terms associated with PID controllers as well as process control.  They will be taught to implement excellent loop tuning techniques and strategies and apply their knowledge in a useful and practical way.  Following this training course, delegates will be able to interact effectively, with plant management and other engineers, regarding all aspects pertinent to process control and advanced PID controller tuning.

By the end of this Gulf Rowad online training course, participants will be able to:

• Decide on the best type of control to implement, using a PID controller
• Understand all the terminology that may be encountered, using PID controllers
• Implement various open-loop tuning strategies with a PID controller
• Implement various closed-loop tuning strategies with a PID controller
• Implement strategies, which include Cascade, Ratio, Gain Scheduling, etc., using PID controllers
• Implement assorted model-based loop tuning solutions

The target audience will be anyone associated with PID controllers, process control and loop tuning.  Whether it be the person that actually does the tuning, the person that is intimately involved with process control and control strategy selection, the person doing controller installations, the person doing the optimization, etc.

There are a whole host of people who could benefit from this training course.  Suitable candidates would include, but not be limited to: 

• Instrument Technicians
• C&I Engineers
• Process Control Engineers
• Chemical Engineers
• Engineers and professionals, from other fields, who have a vested interest in the processes being controlled
