Control & Operation of Industrial Gas Turbines

This hands-on, three-day course uses dynamic simulation models to give a practical introduction to centrifugal gas compressors and their operation in process plants. The practical exercises and workshops will use dynamic simulation models of compression systems running on PCs. They will be easy to use and the participants will require no prior knowledge of dynamic simulation.

This two-day course offers delegates an overview of the design, construction, control and operation of reciprocating compressors. The course describes the principles of operation of the compressor and how the design is adapted to a number of different configurations to meet numerous needs. A fundamental understanding of gas behaviour will be an asset but not mandatory for this course.

An intensive, two-day course where delegates will gain a thorough introduction to the subject of positive displacement oil-injected helical screw compressors. The course is designed to explore many factors in the selection, operation, and control systems of the screw compressor for a particular application.

This three-day course gives a practical introduction to the application of advanced control techniques in the process industries. It is an intensive course which relies heavily on the use of computer simulation software to allow for many practical examples and control strategies to be implemented.

This two-day course uses dynamic simulation models to give a practical introduction to carbon dioxide, its application, characteristics, and carbon capturing technology. This course also covers the principles of gas compression when CO2 is the process medium, the selection of the correct type of compressor, the design of the compressor, how performance of the compressor is controlled and more.

An intensive, two-day course to provide insight into how to troubleshoot a wide variety of problems that can occur with centrifugal compressors and their gas turbine or electric motor driver. The course will include a series of simulated practical case studies where delegates will be challenged to identify and correct real-life problems using a standard troubleshooting methodology.

This 2-day course provides delegates with an introduction to the design for the various types of heat exchangers used in the process industries. The introduction will include the mechanical design of each type along with it's advantages and disadvantages.A case study provides the opportunity to select the best heat exchanger design for a particular process requirement and to calculate the size of the exchangers needed to meet the heat transfer service.

This two-day course explores the construction and configuration of the centrifugal compressor in some detail. It is an add-on to our Control & Operation of Centrifugal Compressors training course but is also run as a stand-alone package.

This intensive and interactive three-day centrifugal compressor course is designed to address the operation and control of both fixed and variable speed centrifugal gas compressors and their drivers. Safe and efficient operation of a centrifugal compressor requires an good understanding of the compressor, the driver and their control systems.

This two-day course gives a thorough appreciation of the CCC compressor control system, including practice sessions on tuning and setting up the controllers on a CCC simulator.

This two day course is designed to provide the tools and knowledge to identify and solve the most common pumping system problems. The fundamentals of both dynamic and positive displacement pumping systems will be covered as well as pump selection and control.
