An Interactive 5-Day Training Course
Mechanical Engineering for Rotating Equipment
Cost Effective Methods for Design and
Maintenance of Rotating Equipment
Course Overview
Pumps, compressors, motors, steam, and gas turbines represent major capital investment in any Oil / Gas Production operation. Selection of proper equipment with the application of effective control and condition monitoring methods would reduce their down time thus, save organization huge maintenance and operation costs. Regular monitoring and inspection techniques can help in providing basis for estimating the health of the existing components of the equipment as well as the overall risk assessment.
The design, working principles, control and proper operation for rotating machinery will be covered in detail during the course. The most up-to-date methods of rotating equipment protection methods will be presented together with maintenance activities, including necessary procedure to prevent from failures. This GLOMACS Mechanical Engineering for Rotating Equipment training course will also cover modern maintenance strategies.
This training course will include several workshops with real problems from industrial practice which will enable discussions and exchange of experiences.
This training course will feature:
- Types of rotating equipment used for oil and gas industry.
- Motors: design, operation, common failures, and maintenance methods
