PROGRAM'S BACKGROUND

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 program 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.

PROGRAM'S OBJECTIVES

This Program’s Attendees Will Be More Able To Know About:

›       About the design and construction of different pumps and compressors

›       About different analytical approaches to understanding the failure of all types of pumps and compressors

›       About the root causes of failure, and relates these to operating conditions and process parameters

›       About the design, installation, lubrication and wear related failure mechanisms

›       About the troubleshooting and diagnostic methods needed to detect and identify these is developed

›       How 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
