Pumps & Compressors Operations, Troubleshooting & Maintenance
- Fluids and fluid movers such as pumps, compressors of various designs and applications, are encountered throughout chemical and process industries, including oil refineries, gas production facilities, power generation and other fields of engineering. As fluids can be in-process material in the form of liquid, gas or a mixture of both with solids, corresponding pumps and compressors sometimes must satisfy high demands of efficient transport of complex and difficult fluids.
- The progress in the design and application of pumps, compressors and turbines has been so rapid that currently, all limitations of pressure, capacity, temperature, and nature of fluids have disappeared. At the same time, this advance in construction and application has presented numerous problems: mechanical, hydraulic, operating, economic, etc…..
Learning Outcomes
- This program will provide the skills and practical knowledge to identify the pumps and compressor in general service and the various maintenance methods plus the number of practical fault-finding techniques available. It will also cover the main problems associated with wear and tear and minimizing down times along with lubrication requirements.
- This program is designed to assist engineers and technicians in identifying the various pumps and compressors they will be expected to handle. It will detail how to conduct scheduled maintenance and how to replace parts and troubleshooting methods based on manufacturing and practical experiences.
