Why Choose this Training Course?
This PetroKnowledge Industrial Lubrication Fundamentals training course focuses on providing both fundamental understanding of lubrication needs as well as practical application of that knowledge within the industrial framework. Proper selection of the lubricants, with suitable properties and characteristics will prevent equipment thermal damage, mechanical wear, corrosion, and keep the critical (moving) parts of the equipment dust and dirt-free.
This training course will highlight:
- Lubrication needs and typical properties of the lubricants
- Tribological background and understanding of damage associated with moving surfaces in machinery
- Various types of lubricants and their basic characterization
- Industrial lubrication systems, their requirements and typical operating framework
- Optimisation of lubricants handling and lubrication processes in a process plant
What are the Goals?
By the end of this Industrial Lubrication Fundamentals training course, participants should have the knowledge and understanding of the following:
- Understand the need for lubrication and its proper handling
- Comprehend all types of failures associated with friction
- Clearly map the landscape of lubricants, their properties and select appropriate one
- Master various industrial systems and their lubrication needs
- Optimise the lubrication process in a plant, prevent equipment failures and prolonged useful life of existing equipment
