Mechanical Equipment:
Compressors, Pumps, Seals,
Motors and Variable - Speed Drives

This Mechanical Equipment training course offers a thorough understanding of the operating characteristics of various equipment. It will cover key types of mechanical machinery, including positive displacement and dynamic pumps and compressors, motors, drives, and their related systems and components. Participants will also learn about the applications of these equipment types, their suitability for different operational tasks, and the criteria for selecting them. Additionally, the course will address associated components like packing, mechanical seals, bearings, and valves.

The Mechanical Equipment: Compressors, Pumps, Seals, Motors, and Variable-Speed Drives training course will emphasize optimizing the efficiency, reliability, and lifespan of this equipment. It will provide in-depth insights into the characteristics, common issues, condition monitoring, and maintenance practices necessary for effective machinery and equipment operation.

This training course will feature:

• Pumps and Pumping Systems
• Compressors and Compression Systems
• Motors and Variable Speed Drives
• Discussion of associated equipment such as mechanical seal design, bearings and valves
• Condition monitoring and Predictive Maintenance techniques

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

• Identify the different types of pumps & compressors & learn about selection, operation and maintenance strategies
• Operate pumps and compressors as close as possible to the design efficiency and monitor their availability and reliability
• Identify and learn about associated components such as mechanical seals & bearings and identify their failure mechanisms
• Condition, monitor and troubleshoot pump and compressor problems
• Specify, operate and maintain fluid movers (Motors) and drivers (Variable Speed Drives)

This Mechanical Equipment: Compressors, Pumps, Seals, Motors and Variable – Speed Drives training course is suitable to those who wish to update themselves on mechanical equipment including pump and compressor technology, judge the suitability of different types of pumps and compressors, drive equipment and associated components for their needs, and learn how to operate and maintain them for the benefit of their organisations.

This training course is suitable to a wide range of Technical professionals but will greatly benefit:

• Professionals in Maintenance, Engineering and Production
• Those with little or no prior formal background who function as Managers, Planners, Inspectors, Designers, Researchers, Investors or Procurers
• Those who are or will become involve at any stage in project applications and applicable maintenance technologies

This Mechanical Equipment: Compressors, Pumps, Seals, Motors and Variable – Speed Drives training course will utilise a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. This includes workshop principles with formal lectures, Videos and animations, question & answer sessions, case studies and interactive worked examples. Relevant case studies will be provided to illustrate the application of each tool in an operations environment. There will be ample opportunities for discussion and sharing.
