Introduction:

Advanced process equipment and piping systems represent the institutional frameworks that govern the design, operation, and integration of critical components in industrial facilities. Their importance lies in ensuring safety, efficiency, and compliance with engineering codes and international standards. This training program reflects the structured methods that link equipment design, piping system layout, and maintenance frameworks for operational continuity. It also presents models, strategies, and institutional structures that define advanced equipment and piping governance, design principles, and lifecycle management.
