Valve Training for Process Operators
Valve types, how each one works and where it is used in the plant.
Why it matters on the unit
Valves are the most common piece of equipment an operator touches. Choosing, positioning and checking the right valve is part of nearly every line-up, isolation and startup.
Knowing how each valve type works helps operators spot a passing valve, a stuck control valve or the wrong valve for the job before it causes a problem.
What Module 3 covers
- Valve types
- How each type works
- Where each type is used in the plant
How the module is built
- Graphic-driven
- Visual-first material, for better comprehension and recall than text-heavy manuals.
- Assessments
- Each module includes questions to confirm learners understand the content.
- Instructor guide
- A step-by-step road map for delivering the module, with activities and knowledge and skill checks.
- Built by experts
- Developed by PeopleCore trainers, former operators and engineers.
