Course Description

Steam turbines when installed and operated properly, are reliable and tend to be forgotten, i.e., out of sound and out of mind.  But, they can be sleeping giants that can result in major headaches if ignored. Steam turbine operation control and troubleshooting is essential to the Oil & Gas, power plant, chemicals and petrochemicals plant industries. These steam turbines represent a significant part of the capital and operating costs of most plants, so that optimizing their operations is of major economic importance.

This 5-day course will cover in details the operating principles of steam turbines, specifications, their design, thermodynamics, and effect of efficiency on operating costs, energy usage, special materials of construction, selection, troubleshooting, and maintenance.

Course Objectives

  • Explain the operating principles of steam turbines
  • Recognize operating problems, and implement a steam turbine troubleshooting monitoring
  • Increase confidence to operate and supervise steam plant
  • Describe the principles of operation and maintenance of steam plant
  • Understand the concepts such as operation, maintenance and turbine failures
  • Understand the basics of Turbine, Thermodynamics and principles of actions
  • Become familiar with the mechanical design, configurations, application ranges and constraints for steam turbines
  • Learn about different turbine components
  • Learn the selection and sizing of steam turbines for compressor drives & understand the operation
  • Learn examples from recent failure incidents attributed to design defects and maintenance deficiencies
