About this Training Course This course will begin with a presentation of topics to familiarize Process and Instrumentation Engineers with procedures and practices involved in the choice of sensors related to the measurement of temperature, pressure, level and flow in relation to single-phase flows. It will provide guidance on the optimum commercially available devices through a detailed comparison of their relative merits. At the heart of this course is sensor calibration which is a crucial element for these topics. The course will also examine the various types of flow control valve, including Globe, Slide, Needle, Eccentric plug and Ball valves and their characteristics in industrial application, while focusing on the problems of Cavitation and Flashing and methods to minimise or eradicate these issues. With the use of examples, industry case studies and a wide range of videos, this course will also cover all aspects of proportional (P), derivative (D) and integral (I) control. In particular, it will address the advantages and disadvantages of PI and PID control. It will also describe Cascade, Feed forward, Split Range, Override and Ratio Control techniques. Training Objectives By attending this course, participants will acquire the following knowledge and skills: Apply an in-depth knowledge to the measurement of temperature, pressure, level and flow as well as to the fluid mechanics of pipe flows Assess the advantages and disadvantages of the major flowmeter types including the differential pressure, rotary positive displacement, rotary-inferential, electromagnetic, ultrasonic and Coriolis mass flowmeters to determine the optimum choice for a given application Make a considered judgement of the choice of fluid level measurement devices Understand the various types of flow calibration, metering systems and provers Carry out tank measurement and tank calibration methods and to calculate net sellable quantities Discuss valve characteristics & trim selection and illustrate the process of control valve sizing Explain the terms Open and Closed loop Define Process Variable, Measured Variable, Set Point and Error Define Direct and Reverse controller actions Explain the terms Process Lag, Measurement Lag, Transmission Lag, and Response Lag and their effect on controllability Explain ON/ OFF Control and the inherent disadvantages Explain Proportional Control, Offset, Gain and Proportional Band and the advantages and disadvantages of Proportional only control Explain the fundamentals and operation principles of Integral (I) Action and the disadvantages of proportional plus integral control Explain the fundamentals and operation principles of Derivative (D) Action in conjunction with P action Describe the operating principles of a PID Controller and explain the applications and advantages of PID control Describe Cascade, Forward, Split Range and Ratio Control operation principles Target Audience This course will benefit instrumentation, inspection, control, custody metering and process engineers and other technical staff.

In January 2024 alone, reports were published about the SRA taking enforcement action against 3 firms and 4 individuals for failure to comply with the Money Laundering Regulations 2017. The fines issued for these non-compliances total over £570,000 plus costs. The absence of staff training, or requirement to complete additional training, was noted in a number of these cases. Action has not only been taken against solicitors, but also other individuals who are not regulated by the SRA, whose breaches were so serious that the SRA felt compelled to take action.  As all SRA enforcement action, from rebukes to fines, is published by the SRA, the potential financial and reputational impact upon firms may be felt by all staff, regardless of whether they had any direct involvement with the non-compliance. This course will cover the following to assist support staff in understanding the fundamental aspects of AML. The basics of what AML is In scope / not in scope work for AML POCA / TA PCPs - CDD & EDD Clients Risks – what could raise a risk? Reporting to the MLRO / MLCO Tipping off Target Audience The online course is suitable for support staff or legal practitioners wanting to understand the basics of AML.

In January 2024 alone, reports were published about the SRA taking enforcement action against 3 firms and 4 individuals for failure to comply with the Money Laundering Regulations 2017. The fines issued for these non-compliances total over £570,000 plus costs. The absence of staff training, or requirement to complete additional training, was noted in a number of these cases. Many of the breaches resulting in enforcement action involved failures by the fee earners to conduct appropriate due diligence, adequately check the source of funds and/or wealth or recognise and report red flags. As highlighted by enforcement action being taken against individuals as well as firms, fee earners cannot hide behind their firm when AML failures occur and may be held personally accountable by the SRA for non-compliances with the MLR 2017. This course will cover the following to assist fee earners in the application of AML in their casework. How to comply with your obligations and stay compliant Written CRA & MRA Client Booms Risks – what to consider?
