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. This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of gas compression and expansion. It covers the turbomachinery and fluid basics; the ideal gas law and practical application covering isentropic, polytropic compression, mass and volume capacity; the practical compression laws on discharge temperature and power of compression; the velocities triangle comprising of impulse, reaction and type of blades; and the classifications, types, basic characteristics, applications and standards of compressors. This course will also discuss the theory of operation and applications of centrifugal compressors; the primary centrifugal compressor elements, impeller types, splitter, diffuser and volute design exploration; the applications, theory of operation, design, main components and functional description of axial compressions; and the surge and surge protection, IGV and valves. During this interactive course, participants will learn the principle of operation and components of dry gas seals; the seal support systems, API 682 reference guide and gas barriers seal technology; the compressors operation and control; the compressors failure mechanisms; the major components and functional description of gas and steam turbines including its operation and control, failure mechanisms, failure modes, maintenance and troubleshooting; and the lube oil system, hydraulic oil system, couplings and bearings. link to course overview PDF
