Training & Manuals

CEP, as part of a comprehensive program, provides training and operating manuals for CEP designed re-refineries. The operating manuals include standard operating procedures (SOPs) for operating the plant as well as plant startup, shutdown and troubleshooting problems that may occur. Engineer and operator trainings are done at the project site. The training familiarizes the plant personnel with the process, equipment, instrumentation, and covers other material in the operating manuals. A general breakdown of the training is shown below. The training program is a valuable resource for a successful and reliable operation.
