COURSE OVERVIEW

 

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

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Rotating Equipment Controls and Operation. It covers the principles of operation of gas turbine, steam turbine and compressor; the surge phenomenon and protection methods; the control system of pump, compressor and turbine; the process control loop operations, PID and control loop interactions; the trip logic of pump, compressor and turbine; the instrumentation in pump, compressor and turbine, anti-surge principle and control system; and the antisurge controllers, surge prediction and tailored control response. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the compression ratio and pressure drop across a flow meter and; the suction temperature and pressure of pump, compressor and turbine; the rotational speed, guide vane angle and over speed trip system; the vibration and speed probe principle of operation and maintenance; the proportional-integral control for preventing reset windup; the performance and antisurge controllers tuning and open and closed-loop control responses; the automatic start-up and shut-down logic, transfer between manual and automatic operating modes; the operator error protection, Modbus interface, operator interface module and speed and acceleration limiting; inspecting and diagnosing the root cause of problems; and the best practices for maintenance strategies and repair.
