ME0447 : Rotating Equipment: Start-up, Operation, Maintenance and Troubleshooting

This practical and highly-interactive course
includes various practical sessions and exercises.
Theory learnt will be applied using our state-ofthe-
art simulators.
This course is designed to cover the machinery
application. This includes the selection, operation,
maintenance, inspection and troubleshooting of the
various types of rotating equipment such as
compressors, pumps, motors, turbines, turboexpanders,
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 and
specific operations.
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 and vulnerabilities of certain types of
equipment. The course will also review the short-cut
selection and sizing methods for fluid machinery.
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 includes an e-book entitled “Machinery’s Handbook Pocket Companion”,
published by Industrial Press, which will be given to the participants to help them appreciate
the principles presented in the course.
