FQTalks
FQTalks #53 – Successful Project Management at Your Facility
Project managing from a Three Legged Stool. What 5 factors have the most impact on a successful outcome for any project, and how to identify potential project managers for your projects.
FQTalks #54 – PHA – Process Hazard Analysis
Learn the steps to planning and running a PHA for the various areas under your control. From making a process inherently safer to full project/plant operational analysis; learn the steps and tools to use to lead this very important safety factor.
FQTalks #55 – Sizing Pressure Relief Valves
One of the first lines of defense in safety in and around a plant; properly sizing PRV’s ensure the prevention of over pressuring a vessel. Understand the need for, design of, and application of these devices. We walk through all 17 sizing/failure scenarios.
FQTalks #56 Project Costs and Project Costs Buildup
A primer on how to build up a realistic project cost for your projects. We use several different ways you can assess the real cost of a project. These steps will help you to determine the working cost of large projects, for budgeting, and for small projects.
FQTalks #57 – Intellectual Property, A Primer on IP
Patent vs trade secret, how to tell if what you have is patentable, how to protect your IP, and who is responsible for defending a patent. We give a really good understanding of IP and how to search for and read patent filings.
FQTalks #58 – The Finale
As we close out our weekly talk show series, we look back and forward, with an industry outlook on the future of biofuels, the biocampus, and the bright future we see for the ethanol facility.
