Course Description

This course aims at providing the participants with a comprehensive theoretical and practical knowledge, and enhancing their skills for the maintenance and operation of rotating equipment. Emphasis shall be laid on topics relevant to machinery maintenance requirements, identify and diagnose the typical faults and troubles of Mechanical seals. This includes equipment, different types of sealing, Packing, balance, vibration and analyzes the performance of the rotating equipment components. Selecting the most efficient maintenance strategy will be addressed too.

Course Objectives

Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:

Apply techniques for troubleshooting failure causes and consequences

Identify causes of machinery failures

Apply condition monitoring technique

Understand equipment reliability and predictive maintenance fundamentals
