Emerging Leaders: Field Experience Simulator

The Field Simulator Event is intended to provide a hands-on field experience to its participants. Hosted at the new Eastern Controls Training Center, participants will learn how to survey, walk down P&IDs, and sketch P&IDs in real time. 

The group will discuss the design process for valve and pump selection, as well as appropriate pipe joining methods. Eastern Controls will provide a complimentary dinner.

By attending this event, you will:

• Gain experience with surveying piping and instrumentation
• Learn how to sketch P&ID's
• Engage in pump and valving design process
• Discuss advantages and disadvantages of different types of valves, materials, and pipe joining methods

Who Should Attend:

This Experience Simulator is designed for:

• Emerging Leaders seeking hands-on experience in the piping and instrumentation design process.
• Young process engineers looking for the visual experience of walking P&ID's in-person.
• Industry personnel interested in learning about how process equipment functions.
• Seasoned engineers exploring options for controls equipment (valves, pumps & instrumentation).
• Customers seeking to understand piping and instrumentation.

Why This Event Matters:
This event is specifically suited for emerging industry professionals seeking a learning experience from seasoned engineers. Many industry professionals have limited access to seeing how field conditions correspond to P&IDs on plans. The Field Experience Simulator addresses that field gap, while providing an informational discussion on the advantages and disadvantages of certain equipment and piping selections.
