In pursuit of the ProcEng objective to facilitate events to promote the sharing of practical industry knowledge, experience and wisdom, the following international event is scheduled at present:
Process Design Practices
|
by Cilliers Kruger (An IChemE Approved Course)
|
“This course is a must for all process support and process design engineers.”
Process Manager, Multinational Oil Company
“This course cuts through all the fuzz universities taught us to give a PRACTICAL overview of process engineering. I would recommend it to all young engineers as a starting point for their careers. IT IS LIFE CHANGING!”
Process Engineer, 2 years’ experience, Engineering Contracting Company
“Great course from somebody with real life experience in design and plant operations and troubleshooting. You are never too old to learn how stuff really works!”
Principal Process Engineer, 25 years’ experience, International Petrochemical Company
Cilliers Kruger
Cilliers Kruger has a lifetime of experience in process engineering ranging from operational support and troubleshooting, through process design, construction and manufacturing to commissioning and full production again.
This course not only illuminates the fundamentals and practical tricks-of-the-trade of process equipment design, it puts it within the context of real operational environments – unlocking the ability of troubleshooting and problem solving from a fundamental understanding of how equipment works. The course material collates a lifetime of comprehensive process equipment knowledge and information focused at the design of new equipment as well as the optimisation, troubleshooting and problem solving of equipment in operation.

Learning Outcomes
- An understanding of the role of Process Engineers, emphasising calculation methods and techniques to troubleshoot and design process equipment. “What set engineers apart from operators and managers is our ability to do calculations. If all you do is analyse process trends and talk in meetings, then you add no value. Make time to do calculations, check them, verify them against plant data and then believe them.” [Cilliers Kruger, presenter]
- A working knowledge of practical design practices for the following process equipment: General Design Conditions, Plant and equipment simulation, Hydraulics, Piping, Flow Orifices, Control Valves, Vessels, Towers, Pumps, Compressors, Heat Exchangers, Fired Heaters, Relief Valves and Metallurgy.
Who will benefit?
Process Engineers with 1 to 5 years’ experience working in both
- operational support (start-up, optimisation, troubleshooting) or
- process design (new or de-bottlenecking of existing equipment)
