Course Objectives:

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the technology, construction
• operating principles of common rotating equipment (pumps, compressors, and their auxiliaries).
• Apply correct operating procedures
• recognize normal versus abnormal performance based on running parameters and characteristic curves.
• Perform routine and preventive maintenance tasks, including assembly, dismounting, inspection, clearance checking, and alignment.
• Identify the root causes of common failures (wear, unbalance, leakage, vibration)
• apply effective troubleshooting techniques.
• Use vibration surveys and failure analysis methods to forecast breakdowns
• plan predictive maintenance interventions.
• Apply relevant occupational safety practices when operating, inspecting, or maintaining rotating equipment.
