Why Choose this Training Course?

Centrifugal Compressors play a very essential role in many petrochemical and industrial plants. Centrifugal compressors in general runs at very high speeds and are exposed to high temperature. The compressor operation is confined between the Surge and Stonewall limits. The compressor performance also is affected by the variation in operating conditions. Elevated temperature and large centrifugal stresses make the gas turbine operating under very critical conditions requires very complicated monitoring and protection systems. Accurate instrumentation, monitoring, troubleshooting and maintenance programs are essential for maintaining and increasing the available time of the machines. Understanding and learning Centrifugal compressors more deeply help smooth and free trouble operation.

This PetroKnowledge training course will address the design, performance, operation limits, control system and the troubleshooting techniques of centrifugal compressors and the parameters affecting the above.

This Centrifugal Compressor training course will highlight:

Description of the equipment's internal and external part and its function
Diagnosis and analysis of equipment Failures and troubleshooting
Maintenance strategies
Effective inspection, measurements and which parameter to test
Preventive and predictive maintenance methods
Analysis performances for vibration, oil analysis and bearing failure detection

What are the Goals?

By the end of this Centrifugal Compressor training course, participants will be able to:

Familiarize different compressor designs
Learn how different design parameter affects the machines performance and operation
Familiarize the different types of gas compressors and their application
Deepen the understanding of the limits of the compressor operation
Read and calculate the performance curves of compressor
Familiarize with the control and protection systems of centrifugal compressor systems
Familiarize the start and shut down of the compressor properly
