Accordingly, the learning event design focuses solely on this need. This training is not designed for “contact hours “or participant “entertainment”. This is a hands-on training with an expectation of continuous participation -- working and answering math problems – throughout the entire session. Who should attend: operators and managers.  Participants will learn: Pressure and Head problems (multi conversion problems) Chemical […]
