Mechanical Engineering for Static

and Rotating Equipment

INTRODUCTION
• Oil and Gas Production Plants comprise both static and rotating equipment that represent main
capital investment. Proper design, operation and maintenance of these equipment would
increase their availability and reliability thus, ensure good return on investment. Understanding
of the operation parameters effects and implementation of effective condition monitoring
methods improve equipment health, extend their life time and mitigate the associated risks.

The delegates will cover:

• Design, inspection, and testing methods of static equipment [e.g., storage tanks, valves, boilers,
heat exchangers and piping systems] according to the relevant standards to perform the fitness
for service (FFS) analysis. The most up-to-date methods of equipment protection methodologies
together with maintenance activities, including necessary repairs as prevention of failures.
• Working principles, operation, and condition monitoring methods of rotating equipment [e.g.,
motors, pumps, compressors, steam, and gas turbines] with modern maintenance strategies to
improve equipment availability and to mitigate failures.
• This Mechanical Engineering for Static and Rotating Equipment training course will include
several workshops with real problems from industrial practice which will enable discussions and
exchange of experiences.

OBJECTIVES

At the end of this seminar, you will learn to:

• Follow the requirements of industry inspection standards and practices


• Identify elements of safety of pressure vessels, storage tanks and pipelines
• Apply diagnostics and inspection procedures to pressure equipment
• Analyze results of condition monitoring and corrosion tests of static equipment
• Plan and manage activities related to maintenance and repair
• Apply industry inspection standards and best practices at your organization
• Optimize design and operation methods for your rotating equipment
• Apply diagnostics and inspection procedures to the rotating equipment
• Analyze results of condition monitoring and vibration control of rotating equipment
• Plan and manage activities related to maintenance and repair of rotating equipment
TRAINING METHODOLOGY
• This training course will be conducted along workshop principles with formal lectures and
interactive worked examples included in several workshops. Presented also will be several
illustrative and instructive videos. The emphasis in this training course will be on the explanation
of all technical points and providing answers to problems that are encountered in everyday
industrial practice related to operation and maintenance, as well as repair and alterations of
static equipment.
• Each learning point will be reinforced with practical examples. There will be ample opportunities
for active discussion and sharing professional experiences and exchange that will help solidify
the gained knowledge. All training seminar materials will be provided.
