Focused Training & Expertise in Ethylene/Olefins based Petrochemical Facilities We focus on Olefin based petrochemical facilities based on our strength and expertise in this area. These courses are conducted by Sanjeev Kapur. Sanjeev is a leading industry expert in ethylene and related technologies. His expertise cover a vast background and hands-on experience in technology know-how, design, engineering, operation, troubleshooting and technical risk evaluation/ mitigation. We can tailor course to your needs. Typical courses include:
“As the petrochemical industry is going through a significant demographic and experience level change in staffing over the next few years, a wide range of skills is substantially lacking. These include technical, soft and managerial skills, with particularly acute shortages in technical occupations such as petrochemical engineers. These shortages are imposing challenges to the maintaining of scheduled daily operations in the industry. A significant number of workers in the industry are retiring, taking with them years of knowledge and leaving less experienced operators and engineers to ensure that increasingly sophisticated and complex plants run reliably, safely and profitably. What needs to change is the nature of how experience and expertise is taught and how technical information can be taught and learnt.” |

Sanjeev had great presentation skills and stayed on task and on-time. I also thought the slides had enough information where you can reference them later and understand the material without the presenter, but were not too busy or overwhelming."
“I realized that on-line course is more efficient for both the teacher and students than conventional off-line one, particularly in terms of interactive process.” “The virtual presentation is difficult to do but Sanjeev was very proficient. I thought the audio and slides were clear” “I did enjoy the Virtual classroom and thought that the schedule worked well. Breaking the presentation into two two-hour portions per day was a good idea.” "Sanjeev was open to discussion on problems that we face in industry and provided recommendations" |
