Rotating Equipment Maintenance and Failure Analysis

The Rotating Equipment Maintenance and Failure Analysis course focuses on the effective maintenance and failure analysis of rotating equipment commonly found in industrial applications. Rotating equipment, such as pumps, compressors, motors, and turbines, play a critical role in various industries and require proper maintenance to ensure reliable operation and prevent costly failures.

The course covers the following key topics:

1. Rotating equipment fundamentals: Understanding the principles, components, and types of rotating equipment commonly used in industrial settings.
2. Maintenance strategies and techniques: Learning about various maintenance approaches, including preventive, predictive, and condition-based maintenance, as well as best practices for lubrication, alignment, balancing, and vibration analysis.
3. Failure analysis techniques: Developing skills in analyzing and diagnosing failures in rotating equipment, including root cause analysis, fault tree analysis, and failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA).
4. Maintenance planning and scheduling: Understanding the importance of effective maintenance planning and scheduling, including creating maintenance schedules, optimizing downtime, and managing spare parts inventory.
5. Reliability-centered maintenance (RCM): Exploring the RCM methodology for identifying critical equipment, establishing maintenance strategies, and optimizing maintenance efforts.
6. Asset management and life cycle analysis: Understanding the concepts of asset management, life cycle costing, and replacement decision-making for rotating equipment.
7. Case studies and practical exercises: Analyzing real-world case studies, conducting failure analysis exercises, and applying maintenance techniques to solve practical problems in rotating equipment.
