Troubleshooting of Rotating Equipments

Course Description:
This course is designed to cover the selection, operation, maintenance, inspection

and troubleshooting of the various types of rotating equipment such as
compressors, pumps, motors, turbines, turbo-expanders, 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.
Why attend
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 principal types
of rotating machinery used in industry. They will understand the differences between electric
motors, design , advantages and disadvantages of different types of gears, operating principles of
gas turbines and reciprocating diesel engines.
Course Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
 Recognize the concept of organizing for world class operations particularly
the characteristics and steps used toward improved performanceent
systems.
 Explain equipment failure patterns by distinguishing repairable from non-
repairable equipment, identifying the types of equipment failure, reviewing
why equipment fails and employing actions to minimize failure effect
 Develop in depth understanding on the maintenance effect on reliability
and recognize how maintenance influences equipment performance
 Heighten awareness and understanding on root cause failure analysis RCFA
including the various types and approaches used in rotating equipment
troubleshooting.
 Know the principle of predictive maintenance and be able to employ the
various predictive maintenance techniques and strategies used in rotating
equipment.
Who should attend
This course provides an overview of all significant aspects and considerations of rotating
equipment in accordance with the international standards for those who are involved in the
sizing, selection, operation, inspection, maintenance and troubleshooting of pumps, compressors,
fans, blowers, turbines and gear machinery. This includes process engineers, mechanical
engineers, piping engineers, pipelines and pressure vessels engineers and supervisors.
