Course Description

INTRODUCTION

This is an intensive, highly practical and useful five-day course. The participant will gain up-to-date information and practical understanding of the basics, applications, troubleshooting and failure diagnosis, installation and maintenance of mechanical seal. Mechanical seal for pump and compressor applications will be addressed. Recent design like dry mechanical seal will also be addressed.

The highlights of the course are as follows:

  • Lubrication and sealing concepts
  • Mechanical Seal and Dry Gas Seal design
  • Different arrangements of mechanical seals
  • Optimal selection of seals and flush plans
  • Failure diagnosis and troubleshooting

Objectives

At the end of this seminar, participants will:

  • Have an understanding of the different types of seals
  • Have learned about selection, operation and maintenance strategies
  • Be able to troubleshoot seal problems
  • Understand how seals are fitted
  • Understand how seals are tested
  • Have an understanding of API flush plans

Organisational Impact

On completion of this seminar, the delegate will be able to critically analyse the methodologies employed within the organisation and instigate improvements where required.

The knowledge gained in this seminar will:

  • Enable the delegate to optimise the operation and maintenance of various types of pumps & compressors
  • Give the delegate confidence to carry out failure analyses on seals thereby avoiding repetitive failures
  • Improve seal operating and maintenance techniques
  • Enable measures to quantify equipment condition
  • Give better control of mechanical seal providers
  • Enable better identification and specification of new and replacement seals
  • Allow tighter control of maintenance budgets by the avoidance of unplanned equipment failures in service

Personal Impact

  • Improved confidence when dealing with suppliers and contractors
  • Better understanding of how manufacturers design and develop mechanical seals for particular environments
  • Better control of the management of pumps and compressor maintenance and operation
  • Improved personal knowledge of sealing systems
  • Better ability to troubleshoot seal problems and avoid recurrence
  • Confidence and ability to select the appropriate flush plan thereby improving reliability and personal profile to senior management

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This seminar is directed towards:

  • Supervisors
  • Team Leaders in Maintenance, Engineering and Production

The seminar will also benefit anyone who wishes to update themselves on Maintenance Engineering Technologies, judge the suitability of these technologies for their needs, and learn how to implement them for the benefit of their organisations.
