Rotating Equipment: Maintenance in Reliability Optimization & Continual Improvement

Introduction to Rotating Equipment:

Over the past decade, world-class process companies have extensively studied rotating equipment reliability distribution and optimization problems. Instead of focusing solely on allocating redundancy with traditional maintenance, engineers now estimate the minimum required reliability for each rotating equipment component to meet the overall equipment reliability goals at the lowest cost.

Engineers assess whether failure avoidance or redundancy achieves the minimum required component reliability. This novel approach assigns reliability to components according to the incremental cost of increasing reliability. Improving rotating equipment's asset reliability through optimized predictive maintenance is a significant challenge for asset-intensive industries such as oil and gas.

Knowing how to effectively prevent equipment failures, conduct successful root cause analysis, and enhance condition monitoring of machinery like pumps, turbines, and compressors is crucial for rotating equipment engineers. Understanding how to save time and money by accurately analyzing and resolving persistent issues at their root is a crucial aim for any rotating equipment reliability engineer.

This rotating equipment maintenance and reliability course is tailored to provide skills in monitoring component health, both as a predictive maintenance tool and for root cause analysis. It also includes coverage of failure root causes, global best practices for root cause analysis, installation, pre-commissioning planning, functional testing and commissioning, and preventive maintenance strategies.

The rotating equipment maintenance and reliability course will concentrate on the problems and solutions surrounding equipment failures, diagnostics, and effective prevention methods. It will lead to more efficient plant maintenance, increased operational efficiency, lower operating costs, and improved plant availability.
