New release for process engineering software
Hyprotech has announced the release of Axsys 1.1, its integrated process engineering solution for deployment throughout the lifecycle of complex process plants.
Axsys now to conform to PIP P+ID practice
Hyprotech have announced that they have licensed the Process Industry Practice Consortium Piping and Instrumentation Diagram Documentation Criteria Practice for incorporation into Axsys 1.1
This agreement will help to pave the way for further recognition of oil and gas technology training qualifications across the industry.
The Masters will provide engineers with practical training on Hysys.Refinery and will enable process engineers to be trained on rigorous refinery simulation before moving into or improving skills within the industry.
The ISE course started on 3 September 2001 and will conclude the last week of July 2002, for a total of 1,500 hours.
Running parallel with the courses are seminars and short training courses for professionals in the industry.
Engineers will be able to evaluate the impact of their decisions on different operating scenarios by training on a virtual refinery model.
"This technology enables process engineers and students to gain a deeper understanding of the effect of their actions and decisions," commented Mr Jose Pina, Academic Director of the ISE.
"We are very pleased to bring Hyprotech and KBC's simulation experience in the refining industry to our students.
We feel they will greatly benefit from the hands-on approach the Hysys.Refinery model will provide." Mr Cesc Batlle, Hyprotech President of Europe, Middle East and African Operations, added: "Refinery engineers will find that the ISE Masters course training on the Hysys.Refinery environment will allow them to uncover interdependencies between units operation as a multidisciplinary task in the different departments of the refinery, such as Process, Planning and Scheduling, and Linear Programming -- a very worthy skill for all refinery engineers".
The master course utilises a methodology essentially based on development of projects and practical case studies, under the guidance of expert lecturers in the various oil and gas sectors.
