Last week was the Operator III course – the students operated many aspects of the IRTC refrigeration system including two stage, CO2 cascade, DX, Recirculated, Flooded, and hot gas heating.  The training center was also used for understanding and troubleshooting issues with an industrial refrigeration system.   At the end of the week, several operators took the CIRO exam at our RETA testing center.

This week was the SOP/PSM class – After thorough discussions of PSM / RMP including practice filling several forms and permits, operators completed mechanical integrity inspections of the operating ammonia lab.  The operators performed several SOPs including compressors, ammonia pumps, level columns, oil pots, evaporators, and valve groups.
