FISCAL METERING TRAINING SERVICE

CONNECTING MANAGEMENT of MEASUREMENT to EXCELLENCE

FISCAL METERING TRAINING SERVICE

SUMMARY
KELTON oer a wide range of general and specialised Fiscal Metering Training packages. KELTON involvement with metering systems from initial design through to commissioning means that we are fully conversant with the equipment and ideally suited to satisfy client training requirements. Every eort is made at the proposal stage to ensure that the course design satises our clients exact requirements. Both theoretical and practical training objectives are dened and agreed as part of this design. Our skilled presenters are metering consultants or engineers in their own right. Therefore each presenter can answer and discuss any delegates questions from a knowledgeable and practical point of view. KELTON training packages oer an immediate opportunity for the delegates to put theory into practice, by practical hands on sessions. Thus the theoretical learning is re-enforced by practice during the course. Each delegate is presented with a copy of a comprehensive training manual or system handbook which KELTON prepare to cover the course in considerable detail. The handbook is a valuable attribute to KELTON training, which can be used as a reference manual long after the course has been presented. This is why we say that KELTON training just keeps on working.

TRAINING PHILOSOPHY GENERAL

Keltons Fiscal Metering Training Service aims to provide training packages which, once delivered, keep on working. It is remarkable how frequently training courses cover the appropriate material but fail to back this up by providing adequate notes. On all KELTON training courses each delegate is presented with KITS.net which they can use as a reference interactive CD long after attending the course. Very often there is a considerable time lapse between training and putting theory into practice. Whenever possible, all KELTON training packages include a practical element on the equipment or system being covered. This allows delegates to immediately gain hands-on experience of the system, thus re-enforcing the learning experience. In this way KELTON recognise the signicant investment which a client makes when placing a training order, by providing a value for money service which has long lasting eects.

COURSE DESIGN
Great care is taken over the design of each Metering Course to ensure the package exactly meets our client requirements. The initial step is to establish and agree a set of theoretical and practical training objectives. From this a training package can be devised which achieves these objectives. Usually the client will be asked to provide the necessary technical material required to produce the system handbook. However, KELTON are continually increasing their knowledge and library material on the more common metering equipment and systems, so vendor data may already be available. Having presented the course, KELTON will call for feedback from each delegate. The comments provided will be used as a basis for improvement and further development of our training packages.

TRAINING PHILOSOPHY COURSE VENUES

KELTON are able to present any of their courses at the clients premises or within our own oce in the centre of Aberdeen; where a fully equipped training room can house up to 20 delegates per course. Alternatively, where no suitable facilities exist at either location, KELTON would hold a training course in a local hotel or conference facility.

COURSE PRESENTERS
For all KELTON Fiscal Metering Courses, the presenters are drawn from within our existing Sta. Thus, the course presenters will be measurement consultants or engineers who are well versed and knowledgeable in all measurement matters. The real benet in this approach is their ability to thoroughly cover the course material whilst imparting their knowledge and practical experience. This is particularly useful when questions are raised which can usually be answered immediately.

PRICING POLICY
For single client courses, KELTON pricing policy is based on a fee per course rather than on the usual a fee per delegate basis. Whilst this pricing policy may initially appear slightly more expensive, the presentation cost element is considerably cheaper and so the cost of the overall training package will remain competitive. The real benets for the client are:1. Costs per course are xed and the client enjoys the exibility of varying the number of delegates per course. Repeat courses at reasonable intervals can be run for only the cost of consumables and presenters time costed on a per delegate basis.

2.

As KELTON prepare more and more specic and general metering courses, the data base of prepared training material is increasing. Thus the cost of course preparation is reducing and this is a saving which is passed on to the client, thus making Keltons training packages even more competitive. Keltons pricing policy on general training applications where delegates will be from more than one client, is by necessity on a fee per delegate basis. However, the pricing for these courses will be held competitive when compared to similar one day seminar style courses and evening presentations.

TRAINING PHILOSOPHY INDUSTRY AND EDUCATION LIAISON

It is part of Keltons general philosophy to contribute to the development of measurement technology wherever we can. KELTON are therefore already involved in industry consortium projects. KELTON also engage in joint projects with local educational establishments and training facilities.

SCOPE OF SERVICE GENERAL

KELTON oer a Fiscal Metering Training Service which meets the needs of the industry as a whole and individual client requirements in particular. Specic training requirements are satised by Keltons application specic or general training packages. These courses are designed and delivered to suit the specic needs of the production operator, production engineer, maintenance technician and metering specialist, for both oil and/or gas metering systems. The industries special training requirement and those of the individual are satised by any one of Keltons range of training courses.

APPLICATION SPECIFIC METERING COURSES

KELTON have experience of designing and delivering several metering courses. Each package has been very well received by the delegates and client training management alike. Once the training objectives are established and agreed with the client, the course material is prepared to cover the scope of the metering system. This naturally includes all relevant information from metering and auxiliary equipment vendors or systems house. KELTON also believe that an understanding of the commercial, legal, scal and engineering requirements for the system are essential in raising the delegates awareness of why certain operations are performed and how the system functions. As well as the theoretical aspects of the course, KELTON include opportunities for practical exercises on items of equipment borrowed from the system (whenever practical) or spare quipment supplied by the client. Thus delegates have an opportunity to practice what has already been learned, through immediate hands on experience of the system. Each of Keltons application specic metering courses is a comprehensive package designed to instil interest, confidence and knowledge in each participant. The beneficial effects on the participants attitude to the metering system are usually obvious.

SCOPE OF SERVICE GENERAL METERING COURSES

The scope of Keltons general metering courses is similar to that for the application specic courses described above. However the general course material presented concentrates on the common principles and practises of ow metering, rather than details for any specic system or equipment type. The general courses are more suitable for those not directly involved in the day to day operation of any metering system, but who have an information requirement. For example, Production Managers, Asset Managers and Operations Engineers who have no previous knowledge or experience of metering would benet from attendance on a general course.

SPECIALISED TRAINING COURSES

Short duration half day, full day or evening seminar style training courses can be provided by KELTON. The topic may be any of those usually covered by the application specic or general courses described above, but in greater depth. Where the client training requirement or specialist knowledge requires, the course may be presented jointly between KELTON and the appropriate specialist vendor.

TYPICAL SPECIALISED COURSES INCLUDE: Interpretation of Metering Standards Gas Chromatography an Operatives viewpoint Turbine meters maximising performance The Orice plate the only alternative? Water in oil monitors Representative Sampling Techniques Meter Proving, calibration and prover design Flow metering in dicult circumstances Etc.

SYSTEM HANDBOOK GENERAL

KELTON recognise the importance of providing comprehensive notes and reference materials as part of each training package. KELTON therefore provide an interactive CD for each delegate attending our training courses.

SCOPE
The greater part of the course preparation eort is in designing and writing the content. The content of the CD covers the course material in greater depth than the course as presented. The intention is to provide a useful reference to which the delegate can refer, and keep on referring, long after attending the course. Our experience suggests that this is the most valuable aspect of the standard of training provided by KELTON.

STYLE AND FORMAT

The CD is written in an easy style, with occasional light touches and the layout is easy on the eye. All illustrations are clear and concise making the CD a very readable reference. The CD sections are arranged in a logical manner which leads-in to the technical detail on the metering system. A comprehensive glossary of terms is included to overcome the limited measurement jargon used in the handbook.

ADDITIONAL COPIES
Because the system handbook is so comprehensive, they may often be used as a reference manual for engineers and metering specialists, even though they may not have attended the training course. To satisfy this requirement; additional copies of the manual are available.

QUALITY CONTROL
KELTON operate a Quality Management System which conforms to ISO 9001:2000 Specication for Design, Manufacture and Installation. Keltons overall policy on training is one of continual improvement. Each delegate is asked to complete a training course assessment form, on completion of the course. These completed course assessment forms become quality records in accordance with the procedure. The comments gleaned from the delegates in this way are used as feedback to the course presenter. The presenter may therefore bring about improvements in course design, system handbook, presenters style, administrative arrangements or course venue from this feedback.
