MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT: Compressors, Pumps, Seals, Motors and Variable - Speed Drives:

Course Introduction

This Mechanical Equipment training course will provide a comprehensive understanding of equipment operating characteristics. It will introduce the participants to essential types of mechanical equipment, including positive displacement and dynamic pumps and compressors, motors and drives and their associated systems and components. The applications of these equipments will be discussed along with their suitability for different operational duties and selection criteria. In addition, the course will focus on associated equipment including packing, mechanical sealing systems, bearings and valves.

This intensive training course will focus on maximising the efficiency, reliability, and longevity of this equipment by providing a thorough understanding of the characteristics, common problems, condition monitoring and maintenance criteria related to machinery and equipment operation.

The course will highpoint:

• Pumps and Pumping Systems
• Compressors and Compression Systems
• Motors and Variable Speed Drives
• Discussion of associated equipment such as mechanical seal design, bearings and valves Ø Condition monitoring and Predictive Maintenance techniques

Objectives

By the end of the training, participants will be able to:

• Identify the different types of pumps & compressors & learn about selection, operation and maintenance strategies
• Operate pumps and compressors as close as possible to the design efficiency and monitor their availability and reliability
• Identify and learn about associated components such as mechanical seals & bearings and identify their failure mechanisms
• Condition, monitor and troubleshoot pump and compressor problems
• Specify, operate and maintain fluid movers (Motors) and drivers (Variable Speed Drives)
