Our instructors are industry experts focused on excellence
Becht Engineering employs several hundred senior specialists, serving the process and energy industries. Many of Becht’s specialists are also experienced instructors, with countless years of experience in mentoring and teaching other professionals. Becht’s specialists teach a variety of technical courses around the world and are industry experts, who have spent their careers in pace setting owner-operator organizations. Arrangements can be made for any of the courses listed in the current training brochure to be taught at or near your site and most courses can be modified to custom suit your training needs.
Becht Performance Group’s workshop and scenario-based exercises encourage trainees to synthesize new information and best practices into their daily tasks, bridging the gap between learning and practice. As compared with typical PowerPoint-focused lectures during which trainees are rarely engaged and frequently lose information before they even leave the classroom, this methodology has been proven to maximize retention and synthesis of information by incorporating multimodal learning techniques and engaging trainees. As German psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus stated in “The Forgetting Curve”, if new information is not applied, 75% of the information will be forgotten within six days.
Our trainings ensure your team’s skills and knowledge stay sharp
PUBLIC TRAINING
Becht also presents courses that are open to the public periodically throughout the year. Near term training courses for 2020 are shown in the Training Schedule below. Follow the links to view course information. Or, to register and pay online, click the button below. We hope you will make plans to attend one of these noteworthy courses this year!
Due to the evolving Covid-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic, Becht will continue to monitor the situation very closely, and operate in accordance with all government health and safety advice. As of today, Becht will deliver all courses until June online using GoToTraining. We will review the situation at the end of June, or before if circumstances allow in-person attendance. Please keep an eye on our website for the latest updates.
Description: This course provides theory and practical application of API-579/ASME FFS-1 methods for assessing the acceptability of equipment with various kinds of flaws. The Fitness-for-Service training provides direction for performing FFS assessments using procedures specifically prepared for pressurized equipment. For the topics covered in the training, example problems will be solved using hand calculations supplemented with BechtFFS software.
Description: Using distillation and binary tower operation as the learning vehicle, the engineer becomes familiar with the process parameters and relationships important to proper tower operation. In this context, a methodology is built and employed which allows the engineer to understand those situations which have been previously observed – and to systematically take apart those situations which have not been seen before. This step-wise approach to unraveling the unknown – troubleshooting – will be useful and can be employed in any context: in process situations, operations, or even general problem-solving.
Description: This course will review the basic requirements of the ASME B31 Code for Pressure Piping with emphasis on B31.3, Process Piping. General topics in the course include Code organization and intent, pressure design, design for sustained loads including support design, flexibility analysis, equipment loads, flanges, expansion joints, supports and restraints, materials, fabrication, examination, testing, and, for existing piping systems, mechanical integrity. Applications of these concepts, including simple hand analysis methods and computer-based analysis methods, will be demonstrated. Included will be comparisons between ASME B31.3 and ASME B31.1, Power Piping. Inspection and maintenance (mechanical integrity) of existing piping systems will be covered, as provided in API 570, Piping Inspection Code. Each session will be conducted in a lecture/discussion/problem solving format designed to provide intensive instruction and guidance on understanding Code requirements. The instructors will be available following each day’s session to provide participants with further opportunity for discussion and consideration of specific problems.
Description: The Fitness-for-Service of Degraded and Damaged Tanks, Vessels, and Piping Systems in Accordance with API 579-1/ASME FFS-1, and Repair Options in Accordance with ASME PCC-2 course will cover perform fitness-for-service (FFS) assessment of aged and/or damaged tanks, Vessels and piping systems, in accordance with API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 - using case studies. Make run-or-repair decisions, in accordance with API 579-1/ASME FFS-1. Understand the technical and historical bases of the API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 methods and criteria Repair Options (ASME PCC-2, API-653, NBIC NB-23): If repair is necessary, select the repair, in accordance with ASME PCC-2 and compare to other repair standards (API and NBIC).

Description: This 4-day Implementation of ASME PCC-2 Repair of Pressure Equipment & Piping Through Case Studies training course provides an in-depth review and discussion of the ASME PCC-2 repair methods through workshop exercises and real-life examples including Part 2 Welded Repairs, Part 3 Mechanical Repairs, Part 4 Nonmetallic and Bonded Repairs, and Part 5 Examination and Testing. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the scope, organization, and intent of ASME PCC-2 repair methods and their applications in the field.
Description: Engineering's Design‐By‐Analysis course will introduce participants to the Design‐By‐ Analysis portion of the ASME code Section VIII, Division 2, Part 5. Based on the rules and guidance provided in Part 5, this course is a comprehensive introduction to the requirements of performing Design‐By‐ Analysis to the ASME Code. This course provides detailed instruction on performing finite element analysis in compliance with the Code. Example problems are presented and discussed for many of the common rules. This course is intended for engineers who are familiar with pressure vessel and piping design, and need additional guidance on applying Design‐ By‐Analysis concepts. Experience with finite element analysis is not required, but an understanding of the fundamentals would be an asset.
