Testimonials
I thought the course was educational, engaging, and interesting. The instructors were phenomenal and seemed knowledgeable on all subjects/issues that came up. I will continue to recommend that Black & Veatch new professionals take this course.
I really like that ProMax interfaces with Microsoft Office. It is nice to use ProMax’s powerful software with the familiar formatting/interface of programs such as Visio and Excel.
The instructors were fantastic. Very helpful and informative! I could tell that they genuinely care about their product. This was 3 days well spent!
Dr. Krouskop built a ProMax simulation for Richmond Refinery sour water plant in 2018 while I was managing the relief system revalidation and iPRSM migration project. His simulation came in very handy in 3Q2018 when the reboiler on the ammonia stripper column failed to operate properly. A direct steam injection system was devised, but there was a need to assure that the relief valve on the separator was adequate. All the while, the sour water could not be discharged because of the permit and was accumulating. The refinery shutdown would have been required because of the limited onsite storage capacity. Peter’s ProMax simulation was utilized to calculate the required steam flow to satisfy the discharge permit requirement and to assure the required capacity from steam injection did not exceed the existing valve capacity. This saved the refinery from shutting down, eliminating the potential transient conditions and saving millions of dollars.
Great introduction to ProMax and applicability to Air compliance. Very informative, patient, and knowledgeable instructor. Worked very well as a team.
The [BRE 101: Oil & Gas] was a very good course. The trainer was outstanding with pace, monitoring, keys, and making sure that information was delivered clearly and specifically. The trainer’s help definitely kept the class moving forward, providing individual attention as needed. I look forward to taking additional courses.
Great job! As an operations engineer, I wasn’t sure how much of this class would apply to me, but most all of it did! Good pace and explanation!
Best training I have received to date from any company, both in covering ProMax and process details.
Stacy Dieffenbach is awesome! It is so easy to follow her explanations. She is thorough, patient and is very knowledgeable on all associated subject matter. Her charisma and sense of humor are icing on the cake. I learned a ton and honestly enjoyed it very much.
BR&E has an extremely knowledgeable staff with interpersonal skills that are hard to come by. Excellent presenters at the course.
Ashis has been instrumental in helping me navigate my way through Promax. I have always been met with kindness by Ashis and an eagerness to help with any problem. I would recommend Ashis to anybody who is looking for support as his assistance to me has been invaluable and I will continue to rely on his expertise in the future.
I like how detailed and thorough ProMax is with the setup and the amount of info it gives back. The customer service team behind ProMax is amazing! The class made me feel more comfortable and was very informative.
The presenting team did AMAZING! Although the team was young, they were incredibly knowledgeable and professional. They were also very patient and helpful when we had questions and issues with the software. They took the time to properly define and explain how things work and why things work, which I find incredibly more helpful and useful in trainings.
The BR&E engineers are full of answers and very helpful. I can’t express how much I appreciate the learning opportunities.
This has been an excellent class for me as someone who has never used ProMax before. Of the dozen courses I have taken in my Facilities Engineer career, I would rate this towards the top. I enjoyed practicing on relevant examples, using sample files, and the openness of the instructors throughout the course. The instructors were very good at clearly and intuitively explaining the topics and concepts.
Great tech support and a great software, made possible by great people! Thank you!
A good intro course that describes the basics of ProMax with enough information to go out and simulate on your own. I would come back for a higher level training course on other processes.
I want to personally thank Jared Peterson for being incredibly supportive throughout my entire learning process of ProMax. His patience, availability, expertise, and technical aptitude have allowed me to execute design projects efficiently, expeditiously and with a high degree of accuracy.
I continue to recommend ProMax to everyone in my line of work as the preferred simulation software as a result of my positive experience with software capabilities and outstanding customer service.
Ashis, Dom, and Zack were friendly and easy to follow when I had questions or comments, they were quick to answer and help me understand what the issue was.
The 101 class was extremely helpful as a introduction to ProMax and its capabilities. The instructors took their time and ensured that everyone was on the correct path. They were exceptional.
Excellent instructor: knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and friendly. Best simulation software course I have attended.
