Transport of solids in the form of hydraulic and pneumatic conveying has progressed enormously since its beginning over a century ago. Industries concerned with the processing of particulate solids have employed hydraulic or pneumatic transport of solids in almost all plants: the examples of catalyst, polymer particles, china, clay, pigments, paints, foodstuffs, etc. In these process industries, the greatest bulk is in the solid-state and almost always in particulate form. In the chemical industry alone, the value of the product formed as particles is greater than 30% of the whole. The handling of particles is very important and often done wastefully from an engineering point of view. Improvements could lead to considerable savings over a wide range of industries.
Because of the complex nature of the interaction between solid particles and intervening, the subject of transport solids in the form of hydraulic transport and pneumatic conveying is difficult and multi-faceted. The entire system is difficult to design and it is even more important to be operated and maintained properly. To decide whether hydraulic or pneumatic transport is a viable solution, it is necessary to know the costs of the entire process including solids preparation, pumping or compressing, pipeline, and solids post-processing. The course is very practical and provides information on materials, equipment, design, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting
Sustained public relations campaigns can help drive strategic organizational change, build public perceptions and drive reputation with key stakeholders. Well planned and executed campaigns are a cost-effective means of changing perceptions and increasing stakeholder value for an organization. This powerful program takes a problem-solving approach to the design of PR campaigns. By closely fitting the campaign to core business priorities as well as project objectives campaign design reinforces key messages and organizational strategy. Participants will develop the skills to design, plan, cost, deliver, and evaluate campaigns using the full range of PR media and channels. Case study examples in print and video will be used throughout. Action planning for the workplace to put ideas into action is a strong feature of the program.
The program has been designed to be interactive with several case studies and group exercises. A modular approach will take the delegates through the four stages of Crisis Management - Preparation, Planning, Response, and Recovery. Participative lectures will involve the use of PowerPoint, handout material, work manual with all instructor notes and slides, examples of best practice, and appropriate video/DVD material. The use of flip-charts, syndicate workshops, and reporting back sessions will encourage a fully participative and enjoyable event.
Program coverage includes CAD Problem Areas, Contractual Issues, Industrial Designs Patents Copyright, Productivity Issues, Drafting Skills Tools Software, Checking of Drawings - Standards, Specifications - Completeness- Errors.., Standardization Issues, Productivity Issues, Future Needs - Intelligent Drawings, Accuracy (Customization), Quality Assurance.
This is a comprehensive career development program intended for those seeking job-related skills in Inspection of Process Industry units for Maintenance, Operational Condition, Corrosion, Safety, Quality Assurance, and Quality Control.
In our modern world, products are developed, launched, upgraded, and re-launched in record times. Agile Product Management is crucial in gaining a competitive advantage and prospering in the fast-moving and ever-changing times. Product managers need to develop interdisciplinary skills that allow them to work effectively and agilely with diverse groups of colleagues, from innovation to product and sales and marketing.
