Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops.

This course is designed to cover the selection, operation, maintenance, inspection and troubleshooting of the various types of plant rotating equipment such as compressors, pumps, motors, turbines, turbo-expanders, gears and transmission equipment. The course will feature a unique blend of practical application experience and basic analysis methods. Its aim is to convey a thorough understanding of machinery operating principles, equipment troubleshooting and effective predictive maintenance.

The course will cover the principal machines represented at a large number of plants. There will be a thorough examination of basic operating concepts, application ranges, selection criteria, maintenance, inspection, troubleshooting and vulnerabilities of certain types of equipment. The course will also cover the equipment failure patterns, bearings, lubrication, shafting, couplings, belts/chain drives and gears.

Upon the successful completion of this course, participants will have gained an understanding of the 12 principal types of machinery used in industry. They will understand the differences between electric motors, design peculiarities, advantages and disadvantages of different types of gears, operating principles of gas turbines and reciprocating gas engines.

The course will convey an understanding of impulse vs. reaction turbines, insights into application ranges, limitations, maintenance and operability constraints for different kinds of pumps, compressors and dynamic gas machinery such as turbo-machinery as opposed to displacement machinery.

The course will discuss the root cause failure analysis (RCFA) and its various approaches and processes, the proper procedure for troubleshooting faults and carrying out the corrective actions including the various troubleshooting and testing tools and instruments. Predictive maintenance will be discussed in details including vibration analysis, oil particle and wear debris analysis, thermography and ultrasonics performance evaluation.

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.
