Recycle Gas Compressor Principles and Applications (Centrifugal Compressors)

Recycle Gas Compressor Principles and Applications

(Centrifugal Compressors)

OBJECTIVES

This course illustrates techniques of the high pressure, high discharge rats, re-cycle gas compressors. Components, Drivers, Operation, Performance and Maintenance of different types of the re-cycle compressors are explained. The basis surge control and vibration damping are also cleared

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This course is designed for Mechanical Engineers and Technicians who are looking for efficient running, maintaining of high rates, high pressure, re-cycle compressors

COURSE OUTLINE
