Screw Gas Compressors & Dry Gas Seals Application
Course Description
This 5-day course offers delegates a comprehensive overview of the design, construction, control and operation of screw compressors of the type normally found in the oil, gas, and other process industries. The course describes the principles of operation of the compressor and how, through a combination of the physical constraints both on the gas being processed and the materials of construction of the compressor, the design is adapted to a number of different configurations to meet numerous needs. This course defines functions, operation and condition monitoring of all types of screw compressors. It also considers and discusses performance and maintenance requirements of screw compressors. Dry Seals are becoming the Sealing Devices of choice for today’s environmentally conscious consumers. This course is designed to educate you with the appropriate knowledge of these devices and how they accomplish their job. A thorough comprehension of dry Seal Principles is often required for you to effectively carry out your day to day business. If you design, specify, repair, maintain, operate or work with dry Seals in any way, this course will provide you with the information required to perform these tasks.
