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
