Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. The use of gas turbines in the process industries has increased considerably during the past few years. Gas turbines offer continuous combustion, low vibration, non-reciprocating motion and low weight to the horsepower ratio. Gas turbines have long been used in simple cycle mode for peak lopping in the power generation industry, where natural gas or distillate liquid fuels have been used, and where their ability to start and shut down on demand is essential. The course is designed to introduce operations and maintenance personnel to the routine preventative maintenance procedures of the gas turbine generator support systems, and to the major mechanical maintenance required to attain high levels of availability, and reliability from the gas turbine generator. This course will also cover borescope procedures, troubleshooting, and a summary of the disassembly inspections required for major gas turbine generator mechanical maintenance. Operating and maintenance personnel should attend this course together to develop a working relationship regarding the maintenance requirements of the unit, and how unit operation may affect these requirements.The course will include detailed descriptions of the turbine generator and support systems. This will include a functional description of the systems as well as the routine preventative maintenance requirements. The course will also detail the gas turbine combustion inspection process with an overview of the hot gas path, and compressor inspections, with an emphasis on component inspection criteria.
