DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c27367) has announced the addition of E-Learning Course: Process Understanding for API/Bulk Operators (Certified) to their offering.

Operators must be knowledgeable about the processes they work with on

Process Understanding for API/Bulk Operators provides all of the information necessary to give a trainee a firm grasp of the basics of API/Bulk processes and ultimately make SOP and On-the-Job Training more efficient.

This course begins with the fundamentals of controlling and monitoring chemical reactions. The key API processes are examined in detail including crystallisation, distillation and reflux, drying and filtration.

Also explained are the symbols used to represent key process equipment, pipe-work and gauges and the interpretation of basic Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs). The importance of water in API processes is underscored by an in-depth examination of the different grades of water required in an API facility and the tests used to determine water purity. The most common water contaminants are discussed along with the different treatments used to purify water before it can be used in a chemical process.

Topics Covered:

-         Chemical Reactions - Introduction
-         Chemical Reactions - Properties
-         Distillation & Reflux
-         Crystallization
-         Drying
-         Filtration
-         Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs)
-         Water Types & Testing
-         Water Impurities & Treatment

Certificate

There is a 16 question assessment associated with each lesson within the Course and we offer a Certificate Service in which Users who achieve 100% in the assessment associated with each Lesson of a Course are deemed to have passed the Course, and are posted a Certificate.

Contents Include:

Chemical Reactions - Introduction

Explains how to control a chemical reaction by monitoring the critical process variables.

Chemical Reactions - Properties

The main physical and chemical properties needed to monitor and control a chemical reaction.

Distillation & Reflux

The principles of distillation and reflux. The critical control parameters of each process are described and safety issues are highlighted.

Water Types & Testing

The different grades of water required in an API plant and the tests that are used to determine the water's purity.

Water Impurities & Treatment

The most common types of contaminants found and the different treatment steps used to purify water before it can be used in a chemical process.

Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs)

Symbols used to represent key process equipment, pipe-work and gauges and how to interpret basic PFDs.
