Instrumentation and Control Engineering – Industry Trends

End users facing globalisation are driving plant performance at a level that would be inconceivable without modern process control engineering systems and business processes. The demand for Instrumentation and Control (IC) technicians, is on the rise in Australia. The field instruments measure physical parameters like level, temperature, flow pressure, etc provide input to the process… Continue reading Instrumentation and Control Engineering – Industry Trends

Relevancy of Renewable energy courses in Perth

Renewable energy includes solar, wind, and hydro energy. It provides resource diversity, improves energy security, and reduces reliance on fossil fuel. It currently account for 26% of the National Electricity Market mix and projected to overtake black coal as the leading energy source by 2023. Renewable Energy has potential to cut off pollution through all sectors of Australian… Continue reading Relevancy of Renewable energy courses in Perth

Demand for Skilled Renewable Energy Workers in Australia

The appetite for clean energy continues to gain global momentum, driven largely by investor interest in sustainable solutions and international governments have followed suite.  But as these projects escalate industry experts warn labour scarcity would stunt the growth of WA’s renewable energy sector, causing project delays and limiting operating capacity. Trends in Renewable Energy In… Continue reading Demand for Skilled Renewable Energy Workers in Australia

Explosion-Protection Technology In Australia

The flammable gases, liquids, and vapours along with explosive dust generated, processed, deposited, and transported result in the formation of hazardous areas. Explosives manufactured and managed cause disruption that is highly life-risking. With significant growth in the oil and gas, petrochemical and mineral processing industry in Australia, development in explosion protection technologies is quite significant… Continue reading Explosion-Protection Technology In Australia

Design and installation of equipment in hazardous areas: SIGNIFICANT SAFETY MEASURE

Be it a leading oil and gas industry, oil refineries, chemical plants, LNG plants, or mineral processing industry; it has an explosive environment that increases the risk of ignition. An area is declared to be hazardous when the environment has flammable particles that can cause disturbance or explosion any moment due to irregularity of temperature… Continue reading Design and installation of equipment in hazardous areas: SIGNIFICANT SAFETY MEASURE

Relevance of Practical Field Instrumentation Skills

It is critical to have skills of selecting, calibrating, and maintaining field instrumentation to the range of process variables used in the modern industrial environment. Despite widely recognised need for Electricians to have skills in instrumentation and control and electrical equipment in hazardous areas (EEHA), to progress their career in industry, such subjects have not… Continue reading Relevance of Practical Field Instrumentation Skills

Cert III in Instrumentation and Control (I&C) versus Cert IV in Electrical Instrumentation (EI) – Which one to choose?

Introduction to the Instrumentation Industry The global process automation and instrumentation market is anticipated to grow from $70.2 billion in 2017 to $112.2 billion by 2026. As the instrumentation market grows bigger, so does the need for a suitably qualified I&C technicians. Licenced Instrumentation professionals are rare and, therefore, in-demand and receive an increased pay… Continue reading Cert III in Instrumentation and Control (I&C) versus Cert IV in Electrical Instrumentation (EI) – Which one to choose?

Working Safely with High Voltage (HV) in Australia

High voltage sign, electrical board close up

Australia’s electrical apprentice training system is geared towards domestic electrical installations. Domestic or light commercial installations usually have a high impedance causing low levels of fault current to flow. In comparison, commercial/industry/mining industries have a much lower impedance to current flow and therefore there is a risk of much higher energy release in fault situations.… Continue reading Working Safely with High Voltage (HV) in Australia
