serious business.
As a result, Totalflow has developed two new options for
customers to receive training. In addition to the standard
classes, Totalflow has developed a remote training
program designed for customers to attend from their own
facilities. Customer attendance is handled through an
internet software participation program, downloaded free
to our customers, that permits attendance from up to 25
different locations with any number of participants at each
location.
Secondly, Totalflow has developed a self-paced training
video designed to provide comprehensive training for the
NGC (Natural Gas Chromatograph) product. With just
under eight (8) hours of video, broken into 28 topics,
students can move through the training one topic at a
time or jump to a specific topic for review.
Also in 2009, Totalflow developed a new training
segment, Production Automation. The response was
phenomenal. This class included instruction on several
popular methods for gas recovery including plunger lift,
soap launch and chemical injection. This class is offered
again in 2010.
