Overview
When new plants or systems go online, the control systems technician (CST) faces special challenges. In Start-Up: A Technician's Guide, author Diane Harris explores and explains the crucial role of a technician in this process. What is meant by 'wet run?' What drawings are important during PHA and pre-start-up safety reviews? How are 'layers' used on P&IDs? Which department is most likely to employ a CST for DCS work? How does calibration methodology affect ISO 9000 certification? What does a CST do during the configuration phase of a start-up? Why is vendor documentation important when troubleshooting a problem? When can model-predictive control be used? If you're a technician, questions like these are your bread and butter during a plant start-up. Start-Up: A Technician's Guide, by Diane Harris, offers you a clear overview of typical start-up responsibilities. From the first team meeting to the last round of tuning and loop checking, Harris uses her extensive experience with process control plants to walk you through the issues and skills typically required.Each chapter of Start-Up: A Technician's Guide includes self-study learning objectives, practice questions and exercises, answers, and listings of relevant standards. Written with the technician in mind, it is a non-mathematical, application-oriented book that provides an overview of the scope of duties a technician must perform in real-world situations. Includes over 30 figures and tables, fully indexed. Contents: The Role of the CST in a Start-Up Applicable Safety Practices and Standards Documenting the Start-Up Process Working with Others Start-Up Plan Assisting Operations and Site Personnel Tuning Control Loops.
