Emerson’s new education facilities help meet the need for greater oil and gas expertise

Emerson, a leading global provider of automation technology and engineering services, has opened a new education facility at its Solutions Centre in Aberdeen. The expansion provides for a range of training courses and competency assessment programs, enabling engineers and technicians to enhance the automation technology skills required to maximise the operational performance of the assets on which they work.

Emerson Automation Solutions’ Business Director in Scotland, Mark Boyes said: “North Sea operators are increasingly looking to achieve more from existing assets, and by upskilling their workers it is possible to maximise the potential of installed automation technology and create operational performance improvements. Our new education facilities in Aberdeen provide training that will help engineers and technicians working in the industry maintain and enhance the skillsets needed to drive long-term efficiency improvements today and in the future.”

Training and competency assessments will focus on the installation, operation and maintenance of automation technology. The facility includes a live liquid flow loop – the first of its kind in the UK – which has three metering streams that can be run in several different configurations. This enables training in all aspects of fiscal measurement.

Emerson’s training enables operators to assess the competency of their workers in an onshore environment. Replicating real working conditions in this way makes the training much safer and more cost-effective.

The Solutions Center is accredited for delivering the level 3 Scottish Vocational Qualification (SVQ) in measurement processes and for delivering a number of courses and tests to ECITB standards.
