It enables the candidates to apply the following concepts: maintenance objectives, operator-maintenance coordination, types of maintenance, definition of: running, predictive, preventive maintenance, operator observations, abnormalities, defect reports, on-line maintenance, off-line maintenance, permit to work, clearance, concept of predictive maintenance, critical points of measurement, plotting trends of pressures and temperatures, interpreting trends to determine outage schedules, interpreting trends to determine spare parts requirements, performance testing; fuel consumption, heat rate, effect of ambient conditions, correction factors, vibration analysis, unbalance, misalignment, bearing problems, objective of preventive maintenance, pre-planned, scheduled outages for maintenance, scheduled tasks; inspection, replacement, repair, typical maintenance schedule and definition of inspections.

By the end of this course delegates will be able to:

• Describe the roles of a good gas turbine running maintenance program
• Explain daily routine maintenance and running checks on a gas turbine unit
• Describe the factors influencing deterioration of the gas turbine and the prescribed inspection intervals recommended
• Explain good maintenance practices used during combustion equipment inspection
• Describe the combustion section disassembly and components removal
• Describe the inspection requirements for the combustion components
• Explain how the use of measurements, trend plots, and performance testing are use in a predictive maintenance program
• Explain how vibration analysis can help determine maintenance needs
• Explain how planned maintenance schedules are used in a preventative maintenance program
• Describe the reassembly of the combustion section
