Verify that contractors working on predictive maintenance of rotating equipment meet the same standard as direct staff.
Predictive Maintenance of Rotating Equipment in Refineries and Gas Plants
Practical training in predictive maintenance of rotating equipment, grounded in real cases and applied to your own operation.
Course Overview
Price volatility does not excuse weak discipline in predictive maintenance of rotating equipment — it punishes it. Regulators and insurers increasingly want documented evidence of how rotating equipment is controlled. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in the energy and hydrocarbon operations capability before they become incidents. It is designed for mixed groups, so that predictive maintenance of rotating equipment is examined from more than one functional angle. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place this strand of energy and hydrocarbon operations among the areas with the widest performance spread. Plans for rotating equipment often fail at the handover point between functions. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of predictive maintenance of rotating equipment and supervised application. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in rotating equipment, not around theory headings. The programme closes with an action plan for this aspect of energy and hydrocarbon operations that each participant writes for their own organisation.
Expected Learning Outcomes

Evaluate the environmental obligations arising from predictive maintenance of rotating equipment.
Plan the decommissioning or life-extension decision for assets involved in rotating equipment.
Plan predictive maintenance of rotating equipment around shutdown windows rather than against them.
