Course Overview

Compressor failures can cause significant problems from delays in production to the possible shutdown of the whole plant. However, good compressor operation and maintenance can cost – effectively maximize compressor life expectancy; while improving its reliability and availability to meet output requirement

COURSE APPROACH:
This course aims to provide you with:
• A very practical, interactive, experiential learning experience

• A clear methodology applicable to all relevant organisations

• Industry standard terminology and content

• Rich content and solutions to site-specific issues

• Interactive discussions

KEY BENEFITS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES:

Over this 2-days training course, you will obtain valuable insights into:

• Evaluating and augmenting the efficiency of compressor operation resulting in reduced energy consumption

• Improving the knowledge of best practices and troubleshooting techniques to avoid and mitigate compressor failures

• Defining the technical features and vulnerabilities of dynamic and positive displacement compressors

• Identifying the criteria that can assist in cost-effective compressor selection

• Using appropriate maintenance technologies to maximise compressor reliability and availability

• Benchmarking compressor performance against industry standards
