Practical Compressor Technology: Selection, Applications, Operation, Troubleshooting, and Maintenance (1.8 CEUs)

Course Code: MEC046
Date: 12 Apr - 14 Apr 2021
Location:

Education @ Your Desk. A Live Webinar Class means that you will attend the class via the web using your computer. There are scheduled breaks for coffee and lunch. You use a microphone, headset, or your phone and are able to interact with the instructor and other students while following notes while watching the presentation slides online just as you would in a live classroom. Notes are posted online. For an extra cost a hard copy can be requested.



The virtual classroom is becoming more and more popular, and we have a lot of experience teaching in this format. The only real difference between a live in-class and live via webinar is where you sit and what you look at. You can learn from the comfort of your own home or office. You pay less for the live webinar format than you would for the in-class format, and you do not have to travel to another city to attend the class. Please contact us at [email protected] for Special Group & Corporate Rates for one or more participants.



A certificate of completed Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be granted at the end of this course. Continuing Education Unit (CEU)
Daily Schedule:

Description
Maximum efficiency, reliability, and longevity of compressors, and bearings are of great concern to many industries.  These objectives can only be achieved by understanding the characteristics, selection criteria, sizing calculations, sealing arrangements, common problems, repair techniques, as well as their  preventive and predictive maintenance. This course is a MUST for those who use this equipment. It covers how compressors and bearings operate and provides the guidelines and rules that must be followed for their successful application.  Their basic design, specification and selection criteria, sizing calculations as well as all maintenance issues including vibration analysis, and used oil analysis are discussed in detail.

Objectives
To provide a comprehensive understanding of the various types of compressors, and bearings so participants can specify, select, size, commission and maintain compressors and bearings for their applications.
To achieve reduced capital, operating and maintenance costs along with increase in efficiency.

Who Should Attend
Process engineers, design engineers, consulting engineers, plant engineers, project managers, piping engineers, maintenance managers, water treatment plant managers, facility managers and technicians and technologists. The course will be of great interest to chemical process industries, oil and gas  industries, manufacturing plants, power generation plants, defence establishment, and others industries and organizations that must use compressors and bearings.

Special Feature
The following is included with your registration:

  • A digital manual (500 pages) authored by the instructor covering the topics listed in the outline.
  • A digital book titled “Electrical Equipment Handbook” (600 pages) published by McGraw-Hill in 2003. This book includes the predictive maintenance required for mechanical and electrical equipment.  The instructor has also authored this book.

Program Outline

After Participating in his Course, You will be Able to:

Size and select out of the various types of dynamic and positive displacement compressors using the performance characteristics and the selection criteria that you learn in the course.

  • Carry out diagnostic testing and inspection of critical components with the knowledge of common failure modes of compressors and bearings by applying advanced fault detection techniques.
  • Select bearings and lubrication, compressor sealing arrangements, meet commissioning requirements, conduct vibration and used oil analyses, troubleshoot, provide predictive and preventive maintenance, enhance reliability, and reduce cost.
  • Determine the maintenance required to minimize compressor downtime and operating cost and maximize its efficiency, reliability, and useful life.
