PRESENTED BY
N.S. NANDAGOPAL
B.Sc (Chem Eng), M.Sc, P.E.
Nanda has over twenty five years of industry and academic
experience in the area of process plant layout and piping design.
His experience includes work in the areas of process design, plant
design, pipe stress analysis and piping engineering and
design.While at Brown & Root, Nanda designed and engineered
major piping systems for offshore platforms including high temperature and high-pressure lines.
He has served on the Board of Directors of Society of Piping Engineers and Designers (SPED) and is
constantly in touch with the trends and current practices in process plant and piping design.
Nanda has extensive experience in teaching short, intense, review courses for engineering license
exams in the USA and is a registered Professional Engineer (P.E) in the State of Texas, USA. He is a
passionate presenter who truly enjoys conveying complex technical concepts in a practical, down
to earth manner. An effective communicator, Nanda receives excellent reviews from course
participants.
PRESENTATION FORMAT
The certificate program is conducted by
E-Learning, and features real-world applications using
a multi-pronged approach involving self-study,
interactive on-line webcasts and homework
assignments with a mentor on call.
The course consists of 12 modules over a period of 3
months. All modules involve a practical component or
group activity. For each module there will be an initial
reading assignment along with course work or problems
to be handed in. Participants will have ongoing support
from their instructor via phone, fax and e-mail. Course
reading material will be delivered in electronic (PDF)
format in advance of on-line presentations.
Presentations and group discussions will be conducted
using a live interactive software system. Assignments
will be submitted via
e-mail. You will receive 4 technical manuals in hard
copy upon completion.
Practical examples from actual projects will be used
extensively to illustrate the principles and drive home
the point.
LIVE WEBCASTS
During the program you will participate in
6 live interactive sessions with the instructor and
other participants from around the world.
Each webcast will be scheduled at 2 varying times,
so you can select one that is most convenient for
you. All you need to participate is an adequate
Internet connection and a headset with a
microphone.
During the live webcasts you will have the
opportunity to learn and discuss the techniques and
procedures used in the design and engineering of
complex process plants and piping systems.
The software package and setup details will be sent
to you prior to the course. Session times to be
confirmed upon registration.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:
Process plants, such as refineries and petrochemical plants, are complex facilities consisting of
equipment, piping systems, instruments, electrical systems, electronics, computers, and control
systems.
The design, engineering and construction of process plants involves a multidisciplinary team effort.
Plant layout and design of piping systems constitutes a major part of the design and engineering
effort. The goal is to design safe and dependable processing facilities in a cost effective manner. The
fact is that there are very few formal training programs that focus on design and engineering of
process plants and piping systems. Therefore, most of the required skills are acquired while on the
job, reducing productivity and efficiency.
The objective of this course is to provide the delegates the basic knowledge and skills in this discipline
to facilitate faster learning curves while on the job. This course will cover the fundamental principles
and concepts used in process plant layout and piping design. Upon completion of this course the
delegates will have a clear understanding of the design and engineering principles used in plant layout
and piping design.
