Pumps and Compressors: Selection,
Operation and Maintenance
Introduction:
Pumps and
compressors are essential components in almost all industries in that they are
required to meet system demands and operate reliably. Further, since they can
consume approximately 30% of a plant’s total energy use, efficient operation is
essential. Pumps and compressors therefore need to be cost efficient and
reliable. This course provides understanding of the operation and maintenance
of various types of rotary and reciprocating pumps and compressors.
By attending
this course you will gain an understanding of the characteristics of various
types of pumps and compressors and their components. The course will provide
Engineers and Technicians with information for the optimal selection, operation
and maintenance of centrifugal and positive displacement pumps as well as
positive displacement and dynamic compressors.
Course
Objectives:
By the end of
this course delegates will be able to:
· Gain an
awareness of the performance characteristics of the various types of pumps and
compressors
· Increase
the reliability of your pumps and compressors
· Develop
an effective maintenance program with the components of pumps and compressors
· Improve
performance of your pumps and compressors with the increased appreciation of
the influence of
fluid flow and associated equipment
· Optimize
the operation and maintenance of different types of pumps
· Carry
out failure analyses on pumps thereby avoiding repetitive failures
· Know how
to select, size, and specify common oil & gas pump and compressor equipment
· Be able
to troubleshoot pump problems
· Have an
understanding of the different types of pumps
