This online engineering PDH course provides guidance on heat tracing, its different types (electric, steam, hot water), and its advantages and limitations.

 

The term heat-tracing refers to the continuous or intermittent application of heating pipelines, tanks, vessels or other equipment used for storage or transportation of a product (liquid, powder or gas). The purpose of heat tracing is to compensate or make up for the heat loss to the surrounding atmosphere in low ambient temperature climates. Some applications for heat tracing include; preventing fluid from freezing, maintaining process fluids at pumpable viscosities, preventing formation of hydrates and waxes in hydrocarbon liquids (oil, etc), and also sometimes to preheat part of a fluid system prior to initial startup or after a primary heating system shutdown.

 

The heat tracing is generally accomplished by employing electric or steam tracing and insulating both the process fluid pipe and the tracer together, using appropriate insulation materials and metal lagging. The decision between electric and steam heat tracing depends on various factors and this course outlines the pros and cons of both the methods.

 

This 4 PDH online course is applicable to process, mechanical and electrical engineers, operations & maintenance personnel, as well as consultants and contractors who construct, build and manage facilities involving heat tracing systems.

This online engineering PDH course introduces the history and development of gas turbine engines (GTEs).

 

This course will help you become familiar with the basic concepts used by GTE designers, follow discussions of how the Brayton cycle describes the thermodynamic processes in a GTE, and learn how various conditions and design limitations affect GTE performance. This course also discusses how a GTE develops and uses hot gases under pressure.

 

This 4 PDH online course is applicable to engineers, designers, manufacturers and anyone who wants to gain an understanding of the basics of gas turbine engines. After completing the course, you should have the basic knowledge to be able to describe the principal components of GTEs and their construction, the GTE auxiliary systems, and also be familiar with the nomenclature related to GTEs and GTE technology.

This online engineering PDH course describes air-filtration and air-cleaning issues associated with protecting building environments from an airborne chemical, biological, or radiological (CBR) attack. The source document provides information about issues that should be considered when assessing, installing, and upgrading filtration systems along with the types of threats that can be addressed by air-filtration and air-cleaning systems. It is intended to provide guidance regarding measures that may be taken to prepare for a potential CBR attack, rather than in response to an actual CBR event.

 

The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 [Public Law 91-596] assures so far as possible every working man and woman in the Nation safe and healthful working conditions. The Act charges the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) with conducting research and making science-based recommendations to prevent work-related illness, injury, disability, and death.

 

This 6 PDH online course is applicable to any engineer who is interested in understanding more about filtration and air-cleaning systems with respect to protecting a building environment from an airborne chemical, biological or radiological attack.

This online engineering PDH course provides guidance on the basic operating principles of 2-cycle and 4-cycle diesel engines. It explains the fundamentals and theory of operation of engine governors, fuel ejectors, camshafts as well as typical engine protective features.

 

Today most facilities require some type of prime mover to supply mechanical power for pumping, electrical power generation, operation of heavy equipment, and to act as a backup electrical generator for emergency use during the loss of the normal power source. Although several types of prime movers are available (such as gasoline engines, steam and gas turbines), the diesel engine is the most commonly used. Diesel engines provide a self-reliant energy source that is available in sizes from a few horsepower to 10,000 hp. Relatively speaking, diesel engines are small, inexpensive, powerful, fuel efficient, and extremely reliable if maintained properly.

 

This 4 PDH online course is applicable to mechanical engineers, plant operators, maintenance personnel, and technical staff who are interested in gaining a better understanding of diesel engine fundamentals.

This online engineering PDH course provides guidance for the operation and maintenance of various types of water distribution system appurtenances. Discussed herein are valves and hydrants; flow, pressure and level sensors; transmission systems; indicators, registers and recorders; water meters, weirs and flumes; and backflow devices.

 

This 3 PDH online course is intended for civil engineers and other design and construction professionals seeking an introduction to best practices for the operation and maintenance of water distribution system appurtenances.

This online engineering PDH course provides an introduction to the design and operation of air quality control and monitoring equipment for fuel fired plants such as steam boiler plants. It discusses chemical, cooling and sump pumps, nitrogen and carbon dioxide systems, ash handling, boiler feed and condensate pumps, and air quality control and monitoring systems.

 

Carbon Monoxide, lead, nitrogen oxides, ozone, particulate matter, and sulfur, are now cited as the most insidious of pollutants generated by industrial or power plants with fuel fired boilers and other equipment. They are proven to contribute to respiratory illnesses in humans, damage to the environment and buildings and, ultimately, lead to higher costs for health care and environmental cleanup.

 

This 4 PDH online course is intended for mechanical, civil and environmental engineers and other design and construction professionals seeking an introduction to power plant air quality and auxiliary equipment.
