Rotating Equipment: Start – Up, Operation, Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Machines deteriorate and they get older so we can expect a certain amount of performance falloff and general deterioration of the machine.  If we understand the failure mechanism that is in place we can identify which parameters best indicate the deterioration of the machine. This workshop covers root cause analysis (RCA), mode of failure, inspection for buses, bulkers, nozzle, bearing, repair method, oil analysis and relation with vibration analysis.

TRAINING METHODOLOGY

The training methodology combines lectures, discussions, group exercises and illustrations. Participants will gain both theoretical and practical knowledge of the topics. The emphasis is on the practical application of the topics and as a result participant will go back to the workplace with both the ability and the confidence to apply the techniques learned to their duties.
