COURSE OVERVIEW

 

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

Maximum efficiency, reliability, and longevity of pumps, compressors, turbines, bearings and motors are of great concern to many industries.  These objectives can only be achieved by understanding the characteristics, selection criteria, sizing calculations, sealing arrangements, common problems, troubleshooting, repair techniques, preventive and predictive maintenance of those turbo machineries. 

 

This course is a MUST for anyone who is involved in the selection, calculations, sizing, applications, troubleshooting or maintenance of pumps, compressors, turbines, bearings or motors. It covers how this equipment operates and provides the guidelines and rules that must be followed for a successful application. 

 

Their basic design, specification and selection criteria, sizing calculations as well as all maintenance issues including troubleshooting, vibration analysis, and used oil analysis are covered in detail. 

 

This course is designed to provide delegates with a detailed and up-to-date overview of the fluid mechanic fundamentals and operating practice of pumps, compressors, turbines and motors. It will address aspects of both axial and centrifugal compressors. Upon the successful completion of this course, participants will have acquired the practical knowledge to enable them not only to choose the correct device for a particular application but also be in a position to resolve many commonly occurring operating problems. 

 

This course is ideal for those personnel in the oil, gas, petrochemical, chemical, power and other process industries who require a wider and deeper appreciation of pumps, compressors, turbines and motors, including their design, performance and operation. No prior knowledge of the topic is required. Participants will be taken through an intensive primer of turbo-machinery principles, using the minimum of mathematics, and will learn how to solve the many and varied practical industrial problems that are encountered. The course makes use of an extensive collection of VIDEO material.
