Mechanical Engineering for
Rotating Equipment

Pumps, compressors, motors, steam, and gas turbines represent major capital investment in any Oil / Gas Production operation. Selection of proper equipment with the application of effective control and condition monitoring methods would reduce their down time thus, save organization huge maintenance and operation costs. Regular monitoring and inspection techniques can help in providing basis for estimating the health of the existing components of the equipment as well as the overall risk assessment.

The design, working principles, control and proper operation for rotating machinery will be covered in detail during the course. The most up-to-date methods of rotating equipment protection methods will be presented together with maintenance activities, including necessary procedure to prevent from failures. This GLOMACS Mechanical Engineering for Rotating Equipment online training course will also cover modern maintenance strategies.

This online training course will include several workshops with real problems from industrial practice which will enable discussions and exchange of experiences.

This online training course will feature:

• Types of rotating equipment used for oil and gas industry.
• Motors: design, operation, common failures, and maintenance methods
• Pumps: design, operation, common failures, and maintenance methods
• Compressors: design, operation, common failures, and maintenance methods
• Steam Turbines: design, operation, common failures, and maintenance methods
• Gas Turbines: design, operation, common failures, and maintenance methods
• Rotating equipment energy consumption optimisation methods

At the end of this online training course, you will learn to:

• Apply industry inspection standards and best practices at your organization
• Optimize design and operation methods for your rotating equipment
• Apply diagnostics and inspection procedures to the rotating equipment
• Analyze results of condition monitoring and vibration control of rotating equipment
• Plan and manage activities related to maintenance and repair of rotating equipment

This online training course will utilize a variety of proven online learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension, retention of the information presented. The training course is conducted Online via an Advanced Virtual Learning Platform in the comfort of any location of your choice

Proper design and construction of new plant with appropriate specification would result in significant measurable improvements in process plant systems including improved plant integrity, reliability and availability with fewer failures that leading to:

• Better design and operation of plants
