Chemical Injection Systems – Design & Operation
Duration: 16 hours
Learn the design, optimization, and troubleshooting of chemical-injection systems—at your own pace—in this detailed, application-focused online course.
Course Description
This course provides practical training on the design and operation of chemical-injection systems, widely used in oil & gas, petrochemical, food processing, and municipal & industrial water treatment processes. Participants will learn the critical considerations involved in selecting chemicals, determining injection points, and configuring dosing equipment.
The course demystifies the lifecycle of injected chemicals, highlights common pitfalls in storage and mixing, and walks through pump selection, flow calibration, and control schemes. You’ll also explore mixing technologies (injection quills, static mixers, diffusers) and learn to optimize dosage for performance and cost-efficiency.
An ideal course for engineers and operators involved in process design, chemical handling, or system optimization.
