Some Experience with Training for Energy Conservation

The best way to meet the challenge of our ever changing energy technology is pursuit of knowledge. Trained personnel is the most important raw material in our plants. With this in mind, the Central Engineering Division of Exxon Chemical Company has developed suitable training programs for a wide audience in our operating plants as well as in our engineering organizations. These courses or seminars are mostly designed for training in specific areas, i.e., plant energy systems and steam trap selection and maintenance. Our approach on the selection of training materials, program content, and the use of outside resources for the development of training programs in these two areas are discussed in this paper
