Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. In the severe weather of the Middle East, lubrication is a major challenge to every maintenance department. High operating costs, downtime, and wear-out of equipment make the life of every maintenance professional in the Middle East very difficult. Bearing in mind that the process plant is usually losing approximately 7% of its entire maintenance budget simply due to poor lubrication practices, it is vital that the maintenance practices become more optimized and proper lubrication program be implemented. This course will introduce and establish the role of precision lubrication and analysis for improving machine reliability. It will provide an overview of lubricant construction and the general principles involved in lubricant selection for common plant machinery. Handling and application practices for both oils and gases will be reviewed.The course will introduce contamination control strategies as a way to improve machine perfomance. It will provide a thorough introduction to the principles of lubricant analysis and introduce appropriate methods to collect samples as the first step in lubricant based machine condition assessment. Haward Technology has designed this interactive training course in accordance with the guidelines of the ?International Council for Machinery Lubrication? (ICML) including the ICML ?Body of Knowledge? for MLT. On completion of this course, participants will sit for the ICML exam (optional) which will be administered in the last day of the course. Successful participant will be awarded an ICML certificate of competency assigning him to be a Machinery Lubrication Technician (MLT) Level-I. This certificate will provide recognition of the qualifications and competence of individuals to perform field lubricant analysis for machinery condition monitoring.
