Process and Instrumentation Course

Practical Training for Process Industries, Plants & EPC Projects

Modern industries such as chemical, petrochemical, oil & gas, power, pharmaceutical, fertilizer, and manufacturing depend heavily on accurate process control and reliable instrumentation systems. Skilled professionals who understand both process operations and instrumentation systems are in strong demand across design offices, EPC companies, and operating plants.

The Process and Instrumentation Course is designed to provide participants with a clear understanding of industrial process operations, measurement systems, control loops, and plant instrumentation, enabling them to work confidently in plant operations, commissioning, maintenance, and project execution roles.

This course bridges the gap between academic theory and real plant practice.

Why This Course Is Required

Most graduates and working professionals:

  • Learn instrumentation only as a subject, not as an industrial system

  • Lack understanding of how process equipment and instruments work together

  • Are unfamiliar with field instruments, control valves, transmitters, and control loops

  • Struggle to read P&IDs, loop diagrams, and instrument datasheets

  • Are not exposed to commissioning, calibration, and troubleshooting activities

At the same time, industries face:

  • Increasing automation and digitalization

  • Stricter quality, safety, and regulatory requirements

  • A shortage of engineers who understand both process and instrumentation

This course prepares candidates for real-world industrial roles.

Who Should Attend

  • Chemical Engineering graduates and students

  • Instrumentation and Control Engineering graduates

  • Electrical and Electronics engineers working in process industries

  • Mechanical engineers involved in plant operations and maintenance

  • Diploma holders and technicians

  • Working professionals seeking upskilling or domain change

No prior industrial experience is mandatory.
