Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. Compressors are used extensively in the process industries. There are many types with widely varying configurations and applications. They represent a significant part of the capital and operating costs of most plants, and optimizing their selection, operation and maintenance are therefore, of major economic importance. The course deals with efficiencies, operating characteristics, reliability, maintenance and troubleshooting implications of compressors. This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of compressor maintenance. It covers the volume ratio and variable speed of screw compressor; the capacity control, oil systems separation and cooling, water cooled oil cooling and thermosyphon oil cooling; the liquid injection oil cooling and troubleshooting; the economizers, sideloads, installation requirements, low discharge temperature and high discharge temperature; and the auxiliary equipment and functions.During this interactive course, participants will learn the troubleshooting, diagnostics, seasonal start-up and shutdown; the dismantling, inspection and assembly procedures on screw compressors; the pressure testing of screw compressor, setting the loading and unloading pressures, routine maintenance and problem troubleshooting; and the servicing, troubleshooting and maintenance of compressors.
