COURSE OVERVIEW

  

The problem of reliability allocation and optimization of Rotating Equipment has been widely investigated by world-class process companies during the last decade. Instead of concentrating exclusively on redundancy allocation as per the old fashion maintenance, the minimum required reliability for each component of the equipment are now estimated in order to achieve the equipment reliability goal with minimum cost. Thereafter, the engineer can decide whether this minimum required component reliability will be achieved via fault avoidance or redundancy. This new philosophy allocates reliability to a component according to the cost of increasing its reliability.

 

Continuous improvement of plant reliability by optimizing predictive maintenance for rotating equipment is one of the most important challenges plants face today. To know how to effectively prevent equipment failures, conduct a successful root cause failure analysis and improve condition monitoring for pumps, turbines and compressors are continuing challenges for engineers. Proper analysis and solving of chronic problems at the source saves time and money.

 

 

This course is designed to explain the effective method of component condition monitoring for use as both a predictive maintenance and root cause analysis tool. It also details the major failure causes, the world-class proven root cause analysis procedure with exercises and case histories, installation, pre-commissioning planning, functional testing and commissioning, preventive maintenance strategies and more.

The course includes a comprehensive e-book entitled “Engineers’ Guide to Rotating Equipment: The Pocket Reference” published by Wiley, which will be given to the participants to help them appreciate the principles presented in the course.
