INTRODUCTION
Rotating equipment, such as compressors, turbines, pumps and others, are the most critical for processes
in oil refineries and large petrochemical plants. These components with complex controls are subject to
wear, deterioration and aging, which results in equipment failures, breakdowns and outages. Each type of
equipment has a special role in the overall refinery operation and has a different criticality index
associated with a failure’s consequence that bring risks related to safety, environment, production loss
and maintenance costs.
This highly interactive and intensive GLOMACS Refinery Critical Equipment Operation for
Compressors, Turbines and Pumps training course will consider the operation and maintenance of
compressors, turbines and pumps from the aspect of quantitative critical analysis of their faults and
defects and rank them according to the seriousness of consequences on safety, environment and
production loss. This training course will explain the most efficient maintenance management strategy
focused on high-priority maintenance tasks that minimize unplanned breakdowns and repeated failures,
with the ultimate goal of maximizing the life of the components and the system.
This training seminar will highlight:
 Technical characteristics of compressors, turbines and pumps for the given application
 Criticality index and criticality list of components
 Practical issues related to trouble-free operation of rotating equipment
 Root cause analysis of problems related to vibration and dynamic balancing
 Guidelines for monitoring, maintenance and troubleshooting
OBJECTIVES
At the end of this training seminar, you will learn to:
 Deal with technical characteristics of compressors, turbines and pumps

 Apply the guidelines for efficient operation with decreased maintenance costs
 Interpret results of testing and inspection of critical components
 Analyze failure modes of critical components
 Apply diagnostic and monitoring technologies to achieve the best results
TRAINING METHODOLOGY
This course will be conducted along the workshop principles with formal lectures, case studies and
interactive work examples. Relevant and real-life case studies will be provided to illustrate the application
of each tool in an operation and troubleshooting situation. Learning topics will be re-enforced with
practical exercises. There will be plenty of opportunities for discussions and sharing experiences during
class workshops.
ORGANISATIONAL IMPACT
On completion of this training course, the participants will be able to adequately analyze operation and
maintenance methodologies employed within their organization. They will be able to initiate potential
improvements where required. This training will give the participant the required level of technical
knowledge and skill that will prove useful in their professional activities.
PERSONAL IMPACT
The knowledge gained in this course will provide a better understanding of compressors, turbines and
pumps in complex operating conditions. The participants will be able to develop a proactive maintenance
system which will allow better inspection, control and monitoring with the goal of avoiding unplanned
equipment failures and maximizing rotating equipment availability and reliability.
