Rotating Equipment Masterclass : Pumps & Compressors

A compelete understanding of pumps & compressors used in process industries for a successful operation of your facility

General Note

About Course

Rotating equipment of various designs and applications are encountered nowadays throughout refining, petrochemical and process industries as well as in power generation and environmental engineering. This 20H masterclass is designed to provide you with a complete understanding of construction details and functioning of : Pumps Centrifugal compressors Reciprocating compressors This understanding is a prerequisite for a successful and flawless operation of your plant and piping system. This 20H masterclass includes extensive graphics, 3D animations and cross-sectional views to give you a virtual practical exposure on rotating equipment. The objective of this masterclass is threefold : 1. Break down for you all the pumps, centrifugal compressor and reciprocating compressors operating principles into easily digestible concepts like : Cavitation Performance curves Fluid Head Net Positive Suction Head, NPSH System resistance Surge and Stonewall Capacity control Pulsation control Lubrication Cooling ... 2. Illustrate through 3D animations and cross-sectional views the main rotating equipment mechanical components, state their function and operating limits, like : Impellers Bearings Mechanical seals Packing Crossheads Pistons Compressor valves ... 3. Provide guidelines and best practices for operation, maintenance and troubleshooting of rotating equipment in accordance with the latest API Standards Also included in this masterclass 2 valuable Excel Workbook Centrifugal Compressor Performance Excel Workbook Pump Calculations Excel Workbook These workbooks provide qualitative and quick comparisons and application notes for centrifugal compressors and pumps. They describe calculations and procedures to predict performance characteristics, especially head, discharge pressure and power. So with no further ado, check out the free preview videos and the curriculum of the course and we look forward to seeing you in the first section.
