Overview: 

This course provides an understanding of the Reciprocating Compressor’s operating principles.  Attendees will learn, among other topics, about multi-staging scenarios and optimization of Reciprocating Compressors. 

Due to the importance of the maintenance process to any production or service plants, maintenance management received considerable and intensive research that resulted in many procedures that are applicable for implementation everywhere. 

Maintenance management includes the organization of maintenance resources, failure analysis, maintenance cost estimation, spare parts classification, and planning, overhaul planning and management, documentation of failures and maintenance procedures, etc. 

This course will focus on the applied topics of maintenance management taking into consideration the technical and economic issues.
