Why you Cannot Miss this Event:
We have seen technological advancement and innovations happening all
around us throughout these years. The right combination of these with new
approach, strategies and application to the commissioning process has led to
gradual continuous improvement throughout these years. Process plants have
been successfully built and commissioned and have reaped great benefit from
the advancement. Yet the question of achieving flawless start-up still remains.
With tremendous advancement and innovations taking place also comes
new challenges which require continuous improvement. The issues and
challenges, from resource and manpower management and commissioning
delays to achieving flawless start-up within budget ahead of time, still persist.
New ways of thinking with forward-looking insights and approaches that can
be incorporated and applied into the commissioning process are very much
needed especially in today’s environment to stay ahead of the curve.
marcus evans 7th Annual Plant Commissioning and Start-Up will address
the current issues from planning and pre-commissioning to the start-up
phase. It will also provide insights and food for thought in the application
