Target Audience

Engineers, senior technicians, and system operators designing, operating, and maintaining pump and compressor systems in oil and gas facilities.

You Will Learn

Participants will learn how to:

• Select the appropriate integrated pump and compressors units (drivers, pumps, compressors, and auxiliary systems)
• Integrate the pump or compressor units with the upstream and downstream piping and process equipment
• Evaluate pump and compressor units and their drivers in multiple train configurations, parallel and series
• Identify the key local and remote control elements of pumps and compressors as well as their drivers
• Define the major life-cycle events, such as changes in flows, fluid composition, and operating conditions that can affect equipment selection and operating strategies
• Assess the key pump hydraulics and compressor thermodynamics, and their effect on selection and operations
• Identify significant operating conditioning monitoring parameters and troubleshooting techniques
