Course Summary

This highly interactive Control Valves & Actuators training seminar highlights the most important features and characteristics of control valves and actuators. Combinations of valves and actuators are used in just about every process around the world, and the proper understanding and utilization of them is crucial to efficient operations and control. This GLOMACS training seminar has been designed in such a way as to empower delegates to think practically about valve and actuator installations, in a manner that allows them to consider, select and install the best piece of equipment for the application at hand.

This Control Valves & Actuators training seminar emphasizes the important aspects of valves and actuators, and lead to a greater understanding of flow aspects pertinent to these devices. In some cases, the differences between certain valves and actuators can be quite large, whilst in others, the variations are very subtle. Delegates are taught to focus and differentiate between the various devices that are available, and how they fit into the greater scheme of things. This exposure, most certainly, will promote greater confidence in the ability of delegates to make informed decisions, as well as to assist in decisions that are made at a higher level.

This GLOMACS training seminar will feature:

  • Different types of valves, and their suitability to a variety of applications
  • Actuators, valve positioners, filters, regulators, I/Ps, and other associated hardware
  • Understanding the valve coefficient and determining the correct valve size and type
  • Valves in P&IDs, installation and maintenance considerations, and cavitation and noise control
  • Optimizing the use of control valves, using digital controllers
Course Outline
Day 1

Valve Principals, Purposes, Types, Control Signals and Flow Conditions

  • Valve Principles, Valve Purposes and Control Signals used with Valves
  • Flow Conditions in and around Valves
  • Reynolds Numbers
  • Cavitation and Flashing and How This Influences Valve Selection
  • Associated Equipment - Pertinent to Valves
  • Definitions and Principles of Operation of the Major Types of Valves
Day 2

Valve in P&IDs, Leakage, Valve Characteristics and Valve Size Calculations

  • Continuation of the Definitions and Principles of Operation of more Major Types of Valves
  • Additional associated Equipment - Pertinent with Valves
  • P&ID Diagrams associated with Valves
  • Valve Leakage and Valve Leakage Rate Calculation
  • Valve Inherent Characteristics and their importance once installed
  • Performing Manual Calculations - for Valve Sizing
Day 3

Valve Software, Actuators, Positioners, Cavitation & Noise Control & SIS

  • Software Used to Size Control Valves
  • Assorted Actuators and their Properties and Characteristics
  • Valve Positioners
  • Cavitation and Noise Control - in and around valves
  • Valves and How They Fit into Pressure Relief and Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS)
  • Using Digital Controllers - with valves
Day 4

3-term Controllers and Loop-tuning for Processes Containing Control Valves

  • Understanding and Implementing the Right Controller Action - for fail-safe valves
  • Understanding all of the Variables - associated with three-term control
  • Open Loop Tuning - for controllers that act on control valve loops
  • Closed Loop Tuning - for controllers that act on control valve loops
  • Trial and Error Tuning - to optimize control valve performance
Day 5

Using Valves in Cascade, Ratio, Dead-Time Dominant, Non-Linear and PLC-Controlled Processes

  • Setting-up a Cascade Loop - using a single valve and multiple controllers
  • Setting-up a Ratio Loop - using a Single Valve and Multiple Process Variables (PVs)
  • Dead Time Dominant Loops - how this affects the valve performance, and how this is corrected
  • Using a Control Valve in a process that exhibits different responses in different zones
  • Combining PLCs - for valve control
Certificates
  • On successful completion of this training course, GLOMACS Certificate will be awarded to the delegates. Continuing Professional Education credits (CPE): In accordance with the standards of the National Registry of CPE Sponsors, one CPE credit is granted per 50 minutes of attendance.
