Why Attend This Training Course?

This course is a comprehensive, highly practical and interactive course where participants have an opportunity to discuss heat exchanger design, operation, performance, inspection, maintenance and repair and be provided with the most up-to-date information with best practice in dealing with the subject. The course will also address the ways in which systematic techniques of inspection and maintenance can reduce major problem areas.

What Is The Training Course Methodology?

This training methodology illustrates the concepts involved in the above areas through practical consideration of actual real-life problems, as well as explanation of concepts by experts in area using video projectors and computer aided case studies based on practical applications. Participants will solve their system problem, where the trainee’s try to apply the skills learnt with guidance from our specialized experts. ACAD will provide participants a comprehensive assessment on the problems solved using the skills acquired in the training course.

Who Should Attend This Training Course?
