Diploma in Static Equipment
7 Months
Master's programs
Part Time
Regular fees: 3000 EUR
The course purpose is to create static equipment professionals groomed and certified in specifics of static equipment, covering the design, construction & maintenance for the whole life cycle of the assets and in how to extend useful life of the static facilities and related assets commonly used in Oil & Gas, Petrochemical, Chemical industry. The participants get to know current developments & applications in fields through exercises, activities and case studies.
This course aims to create high quality professionals who understand the entire life cycle from design till retirement and contribute effectively in design, operation and maintenance roles in Oil & Gas, petrochemical and chemical industries.
The course participants will be using SantโAmbrogio NextGen software for training on practical calculation examples
