Course Overview

This advanced 10-day training course delivers a comprehensive and industry-focused understanding of compressor and pump technologies used across oil & gas, petrochemical, power generation, and industrial processing facilities. The course integrates compressor operations, pump hydraulics, rotating equipment diagnostics, predictive maintenance, vibration analysis, reliability engineering, and API-based best practices into one intensive professional program.

Participants will gain practical expertise in reciprocating compressors, centrifugal compressors, screw compressors, centrifugal pumps, positive displacement pumps, mechanical seals, lubrication systems, vibration monitoring, fault diagnostics, and equipment reliability improvement strategies. The program also explores compressor emissions mitigation, gas recovery systems, predictive maintenance technologies, and condition monitoring applications used in modern industrial facilities.

Special emphasis is placed on vibration analysis and predictive maintenance techniques for rotating machinery. Participants will learn how to diagnose machinery faults including imbalance, misalignment, resonance, cavitation, bearing failures, lubrication issues, seal degradation, and operational inefficiencies using modern condition monitoring technologies.

The course combines engineering theory with practical troubleshooting workshops, case studies, field-oriented calculations, maintenance planning strategies, and operational performance optimization methods. By the end of the program, attendees will be capable of improving equipment reliability, reducing downtime, optimizing maintenance costs, and enhancing operational safety and efficiency in compressor and pump systems.
