East101 University.

We teach engineers to reason through the model, challenge its assumptions and understand what it tells them about the plant.

HRD Corp (HRDF) claimable training for eligible employers. Ir. Rafil Elyas is an HRD Corp Accredited Trainer.

Custom training for engineering teams

Tell us what your team needs to be able to do. We can combine the subjects below into a course suited to your engineers’ experience, the software they use and the problems they work on.

Simulation foundations

Model scope and specifications, fluid characterisation, thermodynamic methods, phase envelopes, recycles, convergence and mass and energy balance checks.

Gas processing and LNG

Separation, TEG dehydration and regeneration, amine sweetening, refrigeration, dew-point control and turboexpansion.

Compression, controls and dynamics

Multistage compression and intercooling, compressor maps, recycle and anti-surge control, start-up, shutdown and response to trips.

Flow assurance and operability

Pipeline sizing, multiphase flow, hydrate risk, liquid slugging and the interaction between pipelines and receiving facilities.

Refining, fractionation and utilities

Distillation, NGL fractionation, condensate stabilisation, heat integration and steam systems.

CO₂ compression and CCS

CO₂ phase behaviour, compression configurations and dynamic modelling of recycle and compressor controls.

Python and machine learning

Use Python to analyse plant data and explore engineering applications such as reduced-order models, performance monitoring and optimisation.

Consultative learning

Bring an engineering problem from your own work. An East101 consultant helps you build the model and interpret the results against the decisions you need to make.
