Process and rotating-equipment engineers, operations engineers and supervisors responsible for pumps and compressors; project engineers writing specifications
A pump or compressor is the one item of equipment where the process engineer's data sheet and the operator's actions interact every minute. The course covers selection between centrifugal, reciprocating and screw machines, reading performance curves, NPSH, minimum flow, surge and anti-surge control, and the process conditions — gas composition, suction pressure, parallel operation — that push machines outside their envelope.
Pump types and selection · centrifugal pump curves, system curves, affinity laws · NPSH, cavitation and minimum flow · reciprocating and PD pumps · parallel and series operation · API 610 data sheet essentials · sealing and seal plans overview (API 682)
Compressor types: centrifugal, reciprocating, screw · head, polytropic efficiency and gas property effects · surge, stonewall and anti-surge control · performance-curve exercises and MW change case · API 617 / 618 specification essentials · operating and trending: start-up, load sharing, degradation · troubleshooting cases
