WHO ARE COURSE INSTRUCTORS?
Umar Siddiqui is a Process Engineer, graduated from NED University (2011) in Chemical Engineering, with a Masters degree in Petroleum Engineering (2014) from the University of Calgary. He is registered with APEGA as an E.I.T. since 2014 with his P.Eng. expected in Fall 2019. Umar has over 6 years of experience in design and troubleshooting of conventional gas, conventional/heavy oil processing, fertilizer industry, and power generation facilities. His work experience encompasses projects in the oil and gas sector across three continents; Asia, North America & Western Africa, with special focus in Conceptual, FEED and Detailed Engineering design studies. He is certified with ASPEN Tech (USA) in advanced Process Simulation, with proficiency in developing process philosophy, project scoping and executing detailed engineering design.
Mustafa Siddiqui is a Mechanical Engineer with over 5 years of experience in the Oil and Gas industry. Mustafa has a diverse work and academic background. He has a Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering from NED University (2010) and a Masters in Sustainable Energy / Mechanical Engineering from Carleton University (2013). He has worked as a production engineer on the vendor side, as well as a discipline engineer in an EPC environment. His areas of interest include pump and compressor sizing, packaged equipment design, emission reduction technologies, code, and regulatory requirements.

Catch:
– Real industry case study: impact of pump discharge control valve on overall system.
MECHANICAL:
– Design code(s)
– Construction and testing
Instructors prefer to keep entire session interactive rather than classic class-room teaching, and therefore participants will be welcomed and encouraged to actively engage in any Q/A or experience sharing throughout the length of the course at any time.
