PROCESS INTEGRATION WORKSHOP FOR THE UPSTREAM OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY
Taking case studies from the upstream oil and gas industry, participants in the March 17-19 Process Integration workshop in Calgary will learn to use the technique of Pinch Analysis and the INTEGRATION software package to understand how energy flows through an industrial plant, and how to minimize energy consumption. Taking a holistic approach to understanding industrial processes and how the different components interact will yield greater energy savings than tackling equipment and processes independently. Process Integration is a comprehensive analysis of an industrial plant’s energy use as a whole. Integration of energy flows through different processes has the potential to save a plant up to 35% in energy costs and related greenhouse gas emissions. This is a reason why many of Canada’s leading companies in a variety of industries have embraced this approach for their own facilities. CMC Research Institutes is proud to partner with Natural Resources Canada to offer Alberta’s oil and gas industry the opportunity to learn more about Process Integration and Pinch Analysis by holding a 3-day training session in Calgary.

- Case studies from the oil and gas sector: SAGD process
- Financial programs for industrial energy efficiency
FEES
Registration is $500 +GST. Though valued at $2,500 the course can be offered at a reduced price because of the support provided by NRCan’s ecoENERGY Efficiency for Industry program.
FOOD
Continental breakfast, coffee, and lunches will be provided each day.
COMPUTERS
Each participant will:
- Have access to a laptop supplied by NRCan with the INTEGRATION software already installed.
- Receive a USB memory stick with the presentation materials and a copy of the INTEGRATION software.
REGISTRATION & PAYMENT CAN BE MADE HERE
