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 compressors selection and design. It covers the various types and application of compressors including shaft and impellers/blades, balance drum, thrust collar, casing and diaphragm bundle/stator, journal and thrust bearings; the oil seals, gas path, fluid flow and axial thrust; the compressors material selection and testing; and the selection criteria of dynamic and positive displacement compressors.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the compressor thermodynamics, operating characteristics, performance curves and off-design evaluations; the key compressor components, other auxiliary systems and equipment specifications; the compressor selection, sizing, commissioning and start-up; the use of compressor controls and monitoring devices; the driver and gear involvement; the installation, operation, maintenance practices and troubleshooting; the economic considerations; the compressor maintenance and troubleshooting; the mechanical seals, couplings, alignment and causes of failure; and system resistance curve modification.
