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.

Daily Schedule:
8:00am - Registration and coffee (1st day only)
8:30am - Session begins
4:30pm - Adjournment
Breakfast, two refreshment breaks and lunch are provided daily. DescriptionThis seminar will provide a comprehensive understanding of the various types of mechanical seals and other methods of sealing rotating equipment including conventional packing, condensate injection sealing, and floating seal rings. This seminar will focus on mechanical seals including their classification, balanced and unbalanced mechanical seals, stationary and rotating mechanical seals, single or double mechanical seals, industrial mechanical seals, U-type mechanical seals, double mechanical seals, tandem mechanical seals, bellows seals, and installation of mechanical seals. The seminar will provide also detailed description about the installation of mechanical seals, pre-installation checks, environmental control of mechanical seals, and the reasons for mechanical seal failure, remedies and refurbishment. The on-site failure analysis of mechanical seals, inspection of mechanical seal components, corrosion and erosion of mechanical seal components will be covered thoroughly. The seminar will also provide in-depth coverage of the physical inspection of o-rings, and gaskets, rotating and stationary faces, as well as description, symptoms, causes, and corrective actions of mechanical seal rotating and stationary face distortion, erosion, carbon blistering, heat checking, and vaporization. This seminar is a MUST for anyone who is involved in the selection, applications, or maintenance of mechanical seals because it covers how this equipment operates, the latest maintenance and refurbishment techniques, and provides guidelines and rules that ensure the successful operation of all types of mechanical seals. In addition, this seminar will cover in detail the basic design, operating characteristics, specification, selection criteria, advanced fault detection techniques, critical components and all preventive and predictive maintenance methods of mechanical seals in order to increase their reliability and reduce their operation and maintenance cost. This seminar will provide the following information for all types of mechanical seals: - Basic Design
- Specification
- Selection Criteria
- Sizing Calculations
- Suitable Applications
- Codes and Standards
- Common Operational Problems, Causes and Remedies
- All Diagnostics, Troubleshooting, Testing, Maintenance and Refurbishment Methods
Who Should Attend - Engineers of all disciplines
- Managers
- Technicians
- Maintenance personnel
- Other technical individuals

- Mechanical Seal Rotating and Stationary Face Distortion, Erosion, Carbon Blistering, Heat Checking and Vaporization: Understand the description, symptoms, causes and corrective Actions of mechanical seal rotating and stationary face distortion, erosion, carbon blistering, heat checking and vaporization
- Refurbishment of Mechanical Seals: Gain a thorough understanding of all the modern refurbishment methods of mechanical seals
- Case Studies of Mechanical Seals in Pumps and Compressors in power generation and Petro-Chemical industry: Several case studies of mechanical seals in compressor and pumps will be explained thoroughly
Training Methodology The instructor relies on a highly interactive training method to enhance the learning process. This method ensures that all the delegates gain a complete understanding of all the topics covered. The training environment is highly stimulating, challenging, and effective because the participants will learn by case studies which will allow them to apply the material taught to their own organization. Special Feature Each delegate will receive a digital copy of the following material written by the instructor: - Excerpt of the relevant chapters from the “POWER PLANT EQUIPMENT OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE” published by McGraw-Hill in 2012 (800 pages) presented in a digital format
- Practical Manual about Mechanical Seals Design, Selection, Operation, Diagnostics, Troubleshooting, Maintenance and Refurbishment (400 pages)
