INTRODUCTION
Pumps and compressors are generally critical machines in any production
process, and hence it is vital that maintenance is most effective for
these units. This course aims to provide delegates with a comprehensive
understanding of how to use a combined predictive and preventive
maintenance approach to achieve maximum reliability and greatest
understanding of any deterioration that may occur.
WHO
SHOULD ATTEND?
Engineers, supervisory and technical staff involved in the monitoring,
predictive maintenance and diagnostics of pumps and compressors.
PROGRAMME OBJECTIVES
The programme assumes familiarity with the design and construction of
pumps and compressors. From this starting point it adopts an analytical
approach to understanding the failure of all types of pumps and
compressors.
From a component-by-component perspective, the programme investigates the
root causes of failure, and relates these to operating conditions and
process parameters. Design, installation, lubrication and wear related
failure mechanisms are identified and a detailed understanding of the
troubleshooting and diagnostic methods needed to detect and identify these
is developed.
The programme provides participants with the knowledge needed to be
effective in the inspection, monitoring and diagnostics of pumps and
compressors, with emphasis placed upon the importance of a combined
condition monitoring and strip-down inspection approach to maintenance.
TRAINING METHODOLOGY
The course is delivered in a combination of lecture style and
computer-based training. In addition, a significant amount of time is set
aside for small working group activity when addressing case study
problems. Extensive use is made of case study material to underline the
key aspects of the course and to give the delegates exposure to current
best practice.
