Training - practical example

A large chemical group with multiple sites in Flanders and Wallonia wanted to increase its staff's knowledge of natural gas applications.

Guy Verkest, Manager at Distrigas Gas Services: At our headquarters in Brussels we regularly organize training sessions for customers, but if there is enough interest within a given company, we also offer on-site training sessions. In this case, we were able to inspect the installations on-site allowing us to immediately put theory into practice. A technical explanation of how to adjust a burner becomes much more 'real' if you can show an example used on the job. Service engineers, in particular, benefit from the course by picking up concrete ideas about energy waste.
