Mechanical Seal for Rotating Equipment

Course Introduction

The Mechanical Seal for Rotating Equipment training course gives a background on its characteristics, maintenance, installation, and troubleshooting. The mechanical seals are common in almost all industrial systems and applications, compressors, and pumps. A better understanding of the design, installation and maintenance of mechanical seals help keep them used with minimum troubles and shutdown, thereby improving system reliability. This training course combines the theory and practical considerations related to equipment.

The different types of mechanical seals, balanced, unbalanced, pusher and non-pusher types, introduce the delegates to the more common modern design and maintenance strategies in mechanical seal systems and plans. This will help the delegates understand, learn, and practice some of the essential skills of the industry's best practices. Also, it identifies the common API standards, including the main guidelines, limitations, and requirements to meet the desired organisational objectives.

Objectives

By the end of this training course, the delegates should be able to:

• Determine different types of mechanical seal
• Know the functions of mechanical seal to prevent leakage
• Selecting the best efficient mechanical seal
• Explain the best mechanical seal for a specific fluid
• Familiarise and discuss the API plans

Training Methodology

The delegates will receive thorough training on the subjects utilising a variety of proven adult learning teaching and facilitation techniques, including presentation, pre-assessment and post-assessment tests, brainstorming, and participant case studies analysis.

Professional Impact

The delegates who complete this training course will have a thorough knowledge and understanding of mechanical seal systems.

Knowledge of the delegates will impact their organisations in the following way:

• Know the fundamental concepts of mechanical seal
• Recognise different plans of API standard
• Selecting of different types of mechanical seal
• Apply the strategies, servicing procedures, and best practices
• Understand the troubleshooting techniques and analysis
