INTRODUCTION:
Compressors, turbines, pumps, and other rotating equipment are crucial for processes in big petrochemical facilities and oil refineries. The wear, deterioration, and aging of these intricately controlled components leads to equipment failures, breakdowns, and outages. Each type of equipment plays a distinct role in the overall operation of the refinery and has a unique criticality index that determines the dangers that a failure could pose to safety, the environment, production, and maintenance expenses.

At the end of this online training seminar, you will learn to:
- Deal with technical characteristics of compressors, turbines and pumps
- Apply the guidelines for efficient operation with decreased maintenance costs
- Interpret results of testing and inspection of critical components
- Analyze failure modes of critical components
- Apply diagnostic and monitoring technologies to achieve the best results
ORGANISATIONAL BENEFIT
On completion of this training course, the participants will be able to adequately analyze operation and maintenance methodologies employed within their organization. They will be able to initiate potential improvements where required. This training will give the participant the required level of technical knowledge and skill that will prove useful in their professional activities.
PERSONAL BENEFIT
The knowledge gained in this course will provide a better understanding of compressors, turbines and pumps in complex operating conditions. The participants will be able to develop a proactive maintenance system which will allow better inspection, control and monitoring with the goal of avoiding unplanned equipment failures and maximizing rotating equipment availability and reliability.
