Predictive maintenance of rotating plant is vital to the budgetary success of the operations organisation. On completion of this Centrifugal Compressor & Steam Turbine training program, the delegate will be able to critically analyze the methodologies employed within the organization and implement improvements where required.

The complete Centrifugal Compressors & Steam Turbines program consists of 16 modules (individual PowerPoint presentations). It provides holistic training that covers the Design, Operation, and Maintenance of Centrifugal Compressors and Steam Turbines

This document refers to the training module 3 only: Centrifugal Compressor. The most common type of compressor used today in the oil and gas industry is the Centrifugal Compressor. It allows very high volumetric flow rates and good compression ratio. Centrifugal compressors in contrast to reciprocating compressor, achieve compression by applying inertial forces to the gas. The inertial forces are transmitted to the gas by an impeller (a series of blades in a rotating wheel) which by dynamic centrifugal motion adds velocity energy through acceleration of the gas.

Upon the successful completion of the full program (all 16 modules), you will achieve the following:

* An understanding of the construction and operational constraints of centrifugal compressors and steam turbines.
* Knowledge of how to optimally maintain the equipment for the benefit of the company.
* Learn hints and tips for practical application of monitoring technologies so as to achieve the best results.
