Training will be held at any of the 5 star hotels. The exact venue will be informed once finalized.

This seminar entails a study of gas compression and expansion laws applied to industrial processes followed by an illustration of the different types of rotating machines usually encountered in plants, and their related aspects. The aim is to provide a satisfactory approach to the problems posed by compressors and turbines and the means to solve them.

Key Highlights of the course are:

Understanding of monitoring techniques as applied to compressors and turbines.
Ability to put in place measures to quantify equipment condition.
Interface with and control service providers.
Identify and specify new compressor and turbine plant.

Objective

At the end of this seminar participants will have:

An understanding of the construction and operational constraints of centrifugal compressors and steam turbines.
Knowledge of how to optimally maintain the equipment for the benefit of the company
Hints and Tips for practical application of monitoring technologies so as to achieve the best results.

Audience

Engineers, Operators, and Technicians in Maintenance, Engineering and Production.
Anyone who wishes to update themselves on Maintenance Engineering Technologies, judge the suitability of these technologies for their needs, and learn how to implement them for the benefit of their organizations.

Methodology

A highly interactive combination of lectures and discussion sessions will be managed to maximize the amount and quality of information and knowledge transfer. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions, and motivate everybody find the right answers. You will also be encouraged to raise your own questions and to share in the development of the right answers using your own analysis and experiences. Tests of multiple-choice type will be made available on daily basis to examine the effectiveness of delivering the course. Very useful Course Materials will be given.
