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. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of process equipment maintenance and troubleshooting. It covers the basics of rotating equipment; the categories of pumps; the theory of operation of centrifugal pumps; the types of compressors and performance management; the positive displacement, reciprocating, trunk piston, sliding crosshead piston, diaphragm, bellows, rotary, screw, and lobe type air compressors; and the operation and characteristics of centrifugal and axial compressors. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the performance characteristics of turbines; the types and major turbine components of turbines; the gas turbine cycles; the configuration of fans and blowers; the performance correction and capacity control on fans and blowers; the mechanical seals, bearings and lubrication; the proper maintenance, re-rerating, retrofitting and troubleshooting of rotating equipment; the static equipment basics, pressure vessels (drums, columns, reactors), heat exchangers, non pressure components, storage tanks, boilers and burners, piping system, valves and static equipment failure modes; and the maintenance of mechanical equipment and troubleshooting of failure analysis.
