Course Description
The use of gas turbines in the petrochemical, power generation and offshore industries has increased considerably during the past few years. The course will cover design, installation, operation and maintenance of these machines by highlighting their design features, performance characteristics, efficiencies, reliability and maintenance implications.
Upon completion of this course, participants will gain a complete and up-to-date overview of the Gas Turbine technology.
Upon the successful completion of this course, participants will have a comprehensive understanding of combined cycle, co-generation, Steam and Gas Turbine plants as well as their selection criteria, operation and maintenance requirements, and economics.
This course is designed to provide a thorough understanding of Steam Power Plants, Gas Turbines, co-generation and combined cycle plants. Each of the components such as compressors, gas and steam turbines, heat recovery steam generators, deaerators, condensers, lubricating systems, transformers, and generators are covered in detail.
The selection considerations, operation, maintenance and economics of co-generation plants and combined cycles as well as emission limits, monitoring and governing systems will also be covered thoroughly. All the significant improvements that were made to co-generation and combined cycle’s plants during the last two decades will also be explained.
