Overview
Singapore’s industrial sector accounts for about 60% of Singapore’s CO2 emissions. The process and petrochemical subsectors are the leading industrial energy consumers, contributing to the bulk of CO2 emissions. From the perspectives of corporate ESG responsibility and the economic cost of carbon pricing, it is essential for the industry sector to adopt energy efficiency as a core strategy to reduce emissions while lowering total energy costs and boosting industrial competitiveness. This 5-day course is designed to enable energy managers and plant facility engineers in the process and petrochemical industries to identify energy-saving opportunities within their plants.
What You’ll Learn
In this 5-day course, participants will be able to gain insights on the following:
- Review the energy efficiency performance of the facility under their charge
- Benchmark energy intensity and carbon footprint reduction
- Identify process improvement for energy efficiency
- Apply pinch analysis for process improvement and optimum energy usage
- Assess process integration with retrofit
- Minimise waste and identify energy-saving opportunities for major energy-consuming systems:
- Fired equipment
- Boilers and steam systems
- Compressed air systems
- Pumps and piping networks
- Distillation systems
Who Should Attend
- Energy managers
- Plant and facility engineers
- Internal and external energy auditors
- Energy efficiency opportunity assessors
- Engineers of Energy Services Companies (ESCOs)
- Professional engineers with responsibilities for designing or integrating process & facility equipment for the petrochemical industry
Certificate and Assessment
A Certificate of Participation will be issued to participants who:
- Attend 75% of the course
- Undertake non-credit bearing assessment (during course)
