Big opportunities tomorrow.
This specialized program trains operators in heat exchanger bundle extraction techniques, rigging procedures, equipment operation, and safety protocols essential for refinery and petrochemical maintenance operations.
The Exchanger Bundle Puller Operator Program provides training for safe and efficient heat exchanger bundle operations. It introduces heat exchangers, types, bundle construction, operating principles, and safety awareness. Bundle pulling equipment includes types of bundle pullers, hydraulic systems, capacity, limitations, and equipment inspection. Pre-pulling preparation covers work permits, isolation, exchanger opening procedures, alignment checks, and risk assessment. Bundle removal operations include step-by-step pulling procedures, load control, stability, and communication during operations. Bundle inspection and handling include visual inspection basics, tube damage identification, handling, storage, and cleanliness requirements. Bundle reinstallation procedures cover alignment, positioning, torque tightening, gasket installation, and leak prevention. Safety and hazard control address crushing and pinch hazards, confined space precautions, PPE requirements, and lifting safety. Coordination and teamwork cover coordination with maintenance teams, signal protocols, time management, and work discipline. Documentation and reporting include job checklists, inspection records, permit closure, and handover documentation. Field practices and case studies include shutdown case studies, common mistakes, best operational practices, and lessons learned.
The module highlights how thoughtful planning can directly improve project quality, reduce accidents, and help projects finish on time and within budget.
