Why Choose this Training Course?
The gas turbine engine is a complex machine requiring operation at extreme pressures and temperatures and demanding good training and knowledge of operating and maintenance personnel. Today’s engineering practices in the industry require the operator to have a thorough appreciation of the interaction between the various components of the engine. In addition, interactions between aerodynamics, thermodynamics and mechanical integrity of a particular component must be thoroughly understood if operator and maintenance engineer is to make a useful contribution in gas turbine efficient performance during operating life.
The course aims to present in depth the key aspects of gas turbine component technologies and to address various aspects such as component design, characteristics and performance. The course will provide the delegate with an opportunity to acquire a fundamental understanding of many aspects of stationary gas turbine engine operation and maintenance. The main focus in the course will be on the engines used in oil & gas, chemical and process industries and will be of the most benefit to delegates currently working as operators as well as maintenance technicians. The course will also be beneficial to those involved in the procurement of new equipment and replacement and retrofitting of the old turbine units.
