An Interactive 10-Day Training Course
Mechanical Engineering for Static and Rotating Equipment
Cost Effective and Best Practice on Design, Operation and Maintenance of Static and Rotating Equipment
Course Overview
Oil and Gas Production Plants comprise both static and rotating equipment that represent main capital investment. Proper design, operation and maintenance of these equipment would increase their availability and reliability thus, ensure good return on investment. Understanding of the operation parameters effects and implementation of effective condition monitoring methods improve equipment health, extend their life time and mitigate the associated risks.
The delegates will cover:
- Design, inspection, and testing methods of static equipment [e.g., storage tanks, valves, boilers, heat exchangers and piping systems] according to the relevant standards to perform the fitness for service (FFS) analysis. The most up-to-date methods of equipment protection methodologies together with maintenance activities, including necessary repairs as prevention of failures.
- Working principles, operation, and condition monitoring methods of rotating equipment [e.g., motors, pumps, compressors, steam, and gas turbines] with modern maintenance strategies to improve equipment availability and to mitigate failures.
This GLOMACS Mechanical Engineering for Static and Rotating Equipment training course will include several workshops with real problems from industrial practice which will enable discussions and exchange of experiences.
Modules
This training course is split into two modules:
Module I - Mechanical Engineering for Static Equipment
Module II - Mechanical Engineering for Rotating Equipment
Each module is structured and can be taken as a stand-alone training course; however, delegates will maximise their benefits by taking Module 1 and 2 back-to-back as a 2-week training course.
Training Objectives
At the end of this seminar, you will learn to:
- Follow the requirements of industry inspection standards and practices
- Identify elements of safety of pressure vessels, storage tanks and pipelines
- Apply diagnostics and inspection procedures to pressure equipment
- Analyze results of condition monitoring and corrosion tests of static equipment
- Plan and manage activities related to maintenance and repair
- Apply industry inspection standards and best practices at your organization
- Optimize design and operation methods for your rotating equipment
- Apply diagnostics and inspection procedures to the rotating equipment
- Analyze results of condition monitoring and vibration control of rotating equipment
- Plan and manage activities related to maintenance and repair of rotating equipment
Who should Attend?
This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:
- Operation, technical service and maintenance professionals
- Technical professionals responsible for maintenance and repair of equipment
- Professionals involved in inspection and maintenance and repair
- Technical professionals dealing with risk assessment and integrity analysis
- Technicians dealing with regulating and metering and other measurements
