Centrifugal Compressor and Steam Turbine Design, Operations, Performance, Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Mechanical, Maintenance & Reliability · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 3,900
Overview
Centrifugal Compressors and Steam Turbines of several types that have widely varying configurations and applications are used extensively in the process industries. These compressors and steam turbines represent a significant part of the capital and operating costs of most plants so that optimizing selection has become of major economic importance. The course is devoted to design features, efficiencies, operating characteristics, reliability and maintenance implications of centrifugal compressors and steam turbine drivers.
Learning Objectives
Configurations available to virtually every industrial user, including mechanical design features, sizing and application criteria, maintainability, reliability, vulnerability and troubleshooting issues. Participants will learn simple techniques and short-cut methods of machinery selection, which can take the place of tedious hand calculations and will serve as rapid means to determine the sensitivity or influence of parameter changes on equipment performance. Participants will be able to determine the most appropriate and efficient matching of the compressor to steam turbine drivers. Participants will also acquire knowledge of operating and maintenance issues by getting to know mechanical design, machinery components, piping design as well as proven approaches to monitoring, troubleshooting and maintenance of compressor installations.
Who Should Attend
This course is designed for professionals working in mechanical maintenance and reliability, as well as those whose responsibilities require a stronger practical grasp of the subject and its application within their organisation.
Professionals in Rotating Equipment
Maintenance and reliability engineers
Rotating and static equipment specialists

Who should attend a mechanical, maintenance or reliability course?
These courses suit maintenance and reliability engineers, maintenance planners and schedulers, mechanical and rotating-equipment technicians and supervisors, condition-monitoring analysts, asset and plant managers, and operations staff accountable for equipment availability.
How long are mechanical, maintenance and reliability courses, and where are they held?
Most Al-Khobraa mechanical, maintenance and reliability courses run over 5 days. The exact duration, dates and city for this course are listed in the dates section on this page. Public sessions run across Saudi Arabia — Riyadh, Jeddah, Al-Khobar, Jubail and Yanbu — as well as regional and international venues, with live virtual classrooms available on request.
What certificate will I receive?
Delegates who complete the course receive an Al-Khobraa certificate of completion, issued by a Saudi-registered training provider. Al-Khobraa also delivers internationally accredited programmes; where a course carries an external awarding body such as PMI, CIPS, ILM or IOSH, that body is named on the course's own page.
Can mechanical, maintenance and reliability training be delivered in-house for our team?
Yes. Any Al-Khobraa mechanical, maintenance and reliability course can be delivered in-house at your own premises anywhere in Saudi Arabia or the GCC, with the content, dates and language of delivery tailored to your team.
