Quality Management for Chemical and Petrochemical Processing Plants

Chemical and petrochemical plants across Africa manage tight product specifications, continuous processes and demanding customers who reject off specification batches. This course builds quality skills tailored to process manufacturing, covering batch and continuous control, sampling, blending, and managing variation in flowing product streams. Participants learn to hold consistent product quality in a process environment rather than a discrete parts one.

What you will be able to do

  • Explain quality challenges unique to continuous and batch chemical processes.
  • Design sampling plans for flowing and batched product streams.
  • Control blending and in process adjustments to hold specification.
  • Manage off specification product and rework decisions.
  • Link laboratory results to timely process control actions.
  • Investigate quality deviations in a process plant setting.
