Pumps, Compressors and Turbines Engineering Practice

An engineering level treatment of rotating equipment selection, performance curves and installation practice, giving mechanical engineers the tools to specify and troubleshoot pumps, compressors and turbines used across mining, oil and gas and power generation plants.

Course objectives

  • Select pump and compressor types appropriate to specific process duties
  • Interpret pump and compressor performance curves and system curves
  • Apply alignment and installation best practice to reduce premature failure
  • Diagnose common performance problems such as cavitation and surge
  • Evaluate turbine types and their application in mechanical drive and power generation

Who should attend

  • Mechanical engineers
  • Rotating equipment engineers
  • Maintenance engineers
  • Project engineers
  • Plant reliability engineers
