Course Description

This 5 day training course is designed to provide participants with the latest technology for Fertilizers Turbomachinery Design, Operation Control and Protection Systems. The program will give in-depth knowledge of the turbo machinery design, operation, troubleshooting, Hydraulic, Mechanical and Electronic Governors, Generator Control (ISO/Droop), Performance Control, Over-speed Protection and Anti-surge Systems. The course will also focus on Standards:  API 610 (EN ISO 13709) (last edition), EN ISO 10436 or API 611, API 612, EN ISO 21049 (API 682), API 684, API 685 , EN ISO 10438 or API 614 , API 671 , API 612 & 670 requirements for turbo machinery systems.  

Turbomachinery plays a very essential role in Fertilizers and many petrochemical and industrial plants. Centrifugal compressors in general run at very high speeds and are exposed to high temperature. The compressor operation is confined between the Surge and Stonewall limits. The compressor performance also is affected by the variation in operating conditions. Elevated temperature and large centrifugal stresses make the compressor operating under very critical conditions requires very complicated monitoring and protection systems. Accurate instrumentation, monitoring, troubleshooting and maintenance programs are essential for maintaining and increasing the available time of the machines. 

This course will address the design, performance, operation limits, control system and the troubleshooting techniques of centrifugal compressors and the parameters affecting the above.

Course Objectives

  • Recognising different compressors and turbomachinery’s designs and operations
  • Realizing how different design parameter affects the machines performance and operation
