Spill Control and Remediation Engineering - SCRE

The first part of this course reviews the basics of spill control response principles, organization, procedures, and equipment used. Attendees will be introduced to evaluation of spills, organization of response and communications, surveillance and tracking, data records and information. The second part of this course will review the basics of remediation engineering applicable to property contaminated by crude and hydrocarbons. It will review the various technologies to treat spill-contaminated waters and soils. The course will finish with a review of solids handling for permanent disposal.

Target Audience

Operators and field managers, pipeline operators, loading and unloading personnel, and those involved with crude and hydrocarbon transportation. It will also benefit personnel involved in treatment of contaminated property or hard-to-dispose contaminated wastes. This course will be useful to managers in completion and optimization of operations. The course is an important reference parameter for safety situations where there might be involvement of governmental or civil protection.
