Course Overview

The Advanced Rotating Equipment Maintenance & Troubleshooting Training Course provides an advanced practical framework for maintaining, diagnosing, and troubleshooting critical rotating machinery in demanding industrial environments. The programme is designed for professionals who need to move beyond routine maintenance toward advanced fault diagnosis, reliability improvement, and systematic failure prevention. Participants will explore advanced maintenance requirements for pumps, compressors, turbines, motors, gearboxes, fans, blowers, couplings, bearings, mechanical seals, and other rotating equipment. The course examines the interaction between mechanical condition, operating parameters, lubrication, alignment, vibration, process conditions, and maintenance practices. A major focus is placed on diagnosing complex and recurring equipment problems. Participants will learn how to combine vibration trends, operating data, inspection findings, lubrication analysis, equipment history, and failure evidence to identify failure mechanisms and establish technically justified root causes. The programme also addresses advanced maintenance strategy development, condition monitoring, reliability-centered maintenance, overhaul planning, maintenance optimization, spare parts, performance indicators, and corrective action management. Practical case studies and troubleshooting exercises enable participants to develop solutions for complex rotating equipment problems and improve equipment availability and lifecycle performance.
