Root Cause Failure Analysis

Repeated failures of pumps, bearings, seals and electrical equipment consume maintenance budgets and production time when only the symptoms are fixed. This course teaches a disciplined approach to finding and eliminating the physical, human and latent causes of equipment failures. Participants learn to preserve evidence, read failure surfaces and recognize mechanisms such as fatigue, overload, wear and corrosion, and apply tools including 5 Whys, cause-and-effect diagrams, fault trees and logic trees. The course also covers prioritizing which failures to investigate, writing effective recommendations and tracking them to closure.

Centrifugal Compressor & Steam Turbine

mohamed — Wed, 28 Oct 2026 08:29:34 +0000

Centrifugal compressors and steam turbines are critical rotating equipment in refineries, gas processing plants, petrochemical complexes and power and desalination plants, where an unplanned trip can stop an entire train. This course explains how they work and how to operate and maintain them reliably: compressor aerodynamics and performance curves, surge and anti-surge control, dry gas seals, bearings and rotor dynamics, steam turbine types, governing and overspeed protection, lube and seal oil systems, and machinery protection under API 670. Reference is made to API 617, API 611 and API 612 for design and testing, together with troubleshooting and condition monitoring practices.
