Course Overview

This seminar presents the scientific principles, operation practices and maintenance guidelines for turbo compressors and gas compressors. These devices are found in most industrial applications and their reliability and availability is of the highest importance; both depend on the understanding of operation, maintenance approaches and skills of the personnel involved. This seminar presents and discusses all aspects of operation and maintenance of these compressors, together with a detailed scientific principles explanation.

Our courses are aimed at both intermediate and experienced staff – it is expected that all participants will have a good grasp of Excel prior to attending our courses.

Objective:

By the end of the course, participants should have:

Knowledge on working principles of turbo and centrifugal gas compressors
Knowledge of underlying thermodynamics
Knowledge of operation and maintenance principles
Knowledge of case studies
Knowledge of parameterization
