Centrifugal Compressor & Steam Turbine Training Course

Course Category : Engineering

This course delivers an integrated engineering and practical understanding of the design, operation, and maintenance of centrifugal compressors and steam turbines, with a strong focus on operational faults, diagnostics, and corrective actions to support continuous operation, efficiency improvement, and extended equipment lifecycle across process industries and power generation.
Duration: 5 Days – Level: Intermediate.

Introduction

Centrifugal compressors and steam turbines are among the most critical rotating machines in process industries and power plants, where their performance directly impacts operational stability and production efficiency. With increasing demands for continuous operation and minimal unplanned downtime, an integrated understanding of their thermal, mechanical, and operational behaviour has become essential.
This course provides participants with solid scientific and practical foundations in thermodynamics, design, operation, and maintenance, emphasising physical understanding of performance-limiting phenomena, fault analysis, and cost-effective solutions to ensure safe and efficient operation..
