Ventil Valve Academy

Industrial valves and safety valves are final process elements and play a key role in the operation of a continuously
generating (petro)chemical process or power plant. They either block the pressure, regulate the fluid or protect the
process plant. Still 50 to 60% of the fugitive emission of industrial process plants is caused by leaking valves.
It is therefore obvious that the plant efficiency is directly affected by the non-performance of valves, either in terms
of output or in terms of reliability and availability.
Typical results of incorrect sizing, inferior quality and insufficient testing of valves are;
Safety and environmental concerns
Longer start up time
Loss of process availability and profitability
Frequent maintenance
Occasional plant trips
Collateral damage to other expensive plant equipment
A long and reliable working effect starts by selecting and sizing the right valve for each specific application.
Afterwards, the integrity, reliability and safety are only warranted when valves are given the right treatment.
The VENTIL VALVE ACADEMY is the guide to understanding valves, the process of selection,
maintenance and repair

Training Levels and Multidiscipline Training

The Ventil Valve Academy training courses are offered in 3 levels; User, Maintenance and Engineering. Driven by
your job role and level of experience, other on-demand and multidiscipline courses are available to enhance the
relevance and usability of the technical content.

USER

Basic, introductory training courses for valve users, traders and maintenance
engineers who have limited knowledge of valves and wish to gain a broader
perspective about their use and application. This is a must for people new
to process controls, valve trading, valve repairers and supervisory personnel.

MAINTENANCE

Multidiscipline training for maintenance / service engineers with a basic

knowledge of valve technology. The goal is to learn to recognize and solve
problems to restore the performance and integrity of the reconditioned valve
in order to enhance process reliability and reduce downtime.

ENGINEERING

Multidiscipline training intended for supervisory personnel or process

engineers seeking advanced training in specific subjects. These courses require
a basic knowledge of valve technology or needs to be preceded by a user
qualification.
