AIRAH Ammonia
refrigeration plant operations courses
AIRAH has been providing ammonia refrigeration training to industry for the past five years by way of a 5½-day Ammonia Plant Operations course and a 2-day Ammonia Emergency Response course.
In 2005 these courses were modified to suit the needs of industry by splitting the courses into two ammonia plant operations courses with the ammonia emergency response course now integrated into the second course.
