OVERVIEW
The design of pressure vessels is a specialist task that requires a thorough understanding of topics such as: strength of materials,
stress analysis and relevant design codes. Pressure vessel design also necessitates a logical, planned approach to the documentation
of all relevant calculations as in many cases; these design calculations can be quite extensive. Given that pressure differential is
dangerous and that fatal accidents have occurred in the development and operation of pressure vessels, standards have been
established and applied to ensure safety governing the design, fabrication, and inspection of boilers and pressure vessels such as
the ASME BPVC Section VIII Div. 1 (Code).
It is therefore appropriate that South African engineers should be provided with an opportunity to formally receive instruction
in the area of pressure vessel design in the context of the relevant South African standard. This 2-day intensive practical training
course will offer insight into the requirements outlined in designing, operating and maintaining pressure vessels. Delegates will
be awarded with an opportunity to understand how to apply the standard to common scenarios they face in the design and
fabrication of the equipment they work with.

WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES
At the completion of this workshop, each delegate should be able to:

Thoroughly understand how strength of materials theory forms the basis of all international pressure vessel codes
and standards

Understand the most commonly used terms and jargon within the area of pressure vessel design

Recognize and compare the different methods of stress analysis available for pressure vessel design purpose

Appreciate the intent and instruction contained within the most commonly employed clauses of the Code and the
South Africa standard

Have a basic understanding of topics relating to: Vessel Manufacturing Methods, Vessel Testing, Marking and Qualification,
and Relief Devices.

EXPERT FACILITATOR

Ntozelizwe Benjamin Mqenebe

Ntozelizwe Benjamin Mqenebe, is a seasoned reliability and maintenance consultant and advisor with 8 years of solid experience in
the field. He had been invited in different maintenance and reliability trainings in South Africa, Nepal, India and USA. His portfolio of
maintenance trainings include Maintenance Management courses on TPM, Lubrication, Tribology, Condition-Based Maintenance,
RCM, RCFA, Planned Maintenance, World Class Maintenance Management, The 12 Disciplines, Oil Contamination Control, Life Cycle
Management, Maintenance Indices and KPIs, Maintenance Strategies and much more. Ntozelizwe previously worked with Umgeni
Water, as Engineer-In Training, System Administrator and later Reliability Engineer. He worked for Engineering & Projects Company
as their Mechanical Engineer on the Ghana Tarkwa CIL Project, and later on the Namibian Langer Heinrich Uranium Project. He
joined VWS Envig on the RBMR project and Madagascar project in Ambatovy. Worked as a Systems Engineer for Port Elizabeth
Metropolitan Municipality on their Operations & Maintenance module for EDAMS. He joined Arcelormittal Newcastle (Sinter Plant)
as a Senior Engineer responsible for Reliability and Maintenance services. Ntozelizwe is currently working for Lizwe Engineers as
the CEO since 2009.
