Mechanical Integrity Inspections Training

This in-person training is intended for persons experienced with ammonia refrigeration systems. Qualifying Operators and Technicians to Perform Mechanical Integrity Inspections is based on the IIAR 6 Standard for Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Closed-Circuit Ammonia Refrigeration Systems as continuing education for industrial refrigeration professionals whose job responsibilities include inspection, testing, and maintenance (ITM), and the safe operation of an ammonia refrigeration system.

Led by our CIRO-certified trainer, this course is in the Oakdale, MN, training facility; you will learn how to perform mechanical integrity inspections:

  • IIAR 6 Chapter 5 General Requirements
  • IIAR 6 Chapters 6 through 15 Specific Equipment Inspection Tables
  • IIAR 6 Addendum B Checklists

You will need access to the current IIAR 2 Standard for Design of Safe Closed-Circuit Ammonia Refrigeration Systems and the IIAR 6 Standard for Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Closed-Circuit Ammonia Refrigeration Systems. For additional information, please visit the training online brochure.

For more information on all certifications and training, visit Industrial Refrigeration Training, Custom, PSM, RMP, GDC, HAZMAT.

RETA certification
Congratulations, Bengie.

 

That turkey doesn’t get to the table without a lot of help. the Refrigerating Engineers and Technicians Association (RETA) is the most recognized organization in the country dedicated to the professional development of industrial refrigeration operators and technicians. These are the people who help keep food cold and safe! SCS Engineers recently celebrated two SCS Tracer professionals at RETA’s 2021 National Conference.

Eric Girven
Thanks, Eric!

Eric Girven was honored with the Guy R. King Memorial Award for his outstanding performance educating and training RETA members to operate ammonia refrigeration systems safely and efficiently. Mr. Girven is a Project Manager and an Ammonia Refrigeration Advisor in SCS’s Tracer Environmental practice. Very active in RETA and the International Institute of Ammonia Refrigeration, Eric is an industrial refrigeration process safety management, risk management, and energy management, expert. He conducts mechanical integrity inspections, process hazard analysis, compliance audits and is a certified industrial refrigeration instructor.

Bengie Branham, pictured above, joins Daryl Davis, Eric Girven, and Gene Dumas as RETA Authorized Instructors. Our SCS colleagues are highly qualified trainers for RETA’s credentialing program. There are only 23 RAI-certified trainers in the country. Each works tirelessly to help operators and technicians learn and certify themselves to run ammonia refrigeration systems safely.  Learn more about education and certification here.

 

We’re proud of our fellow SCSers and thankful to work with them as they protect the health and safety of others while getting food safely to your Thanksgiving dinner table and to those in need. Happy Thanksgiving!
