Who should attend?

  • This course links centrifugal compressors operation to CO2 /GHG emissions to atmosphere.
Public :
  • Production staff of upstream/downstream plants/platforms involved in centrifugal compressors operation.

Level :Skilled

Prerequisite :
  • Professional experience of at least 1 month related to the concerned field.

Course Content

  • CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSORS TECHNOLOGY AND PERFORMANCES - Duration : 1.5 Days

      • Types , typical constructions.
      • Technology of the main components: stator, rotor, bearings, thrust bearing, mechanical seal (oil or gas seals), instrumentation system.
      • Auxiliaries: Lube oil system, mechanical seals lines.
      • Weak points regarding CO2/GHG emissions to atmosphere.
      • Applications: actual machines studies.
      • Performance curves:
      • head and efficiency vs flow,
      • performances curves changes vs suction conditions,
      • compression and mechanical power _ power savings and management,
      • operation limits: Surge/Stonewall/Overload/minimum speed.
      • Typical incidents _ impacts on CO2/GHG emissions to atmosphere

  • CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSORS OPERATION - Duration : 1.5 Days

      • Start-up /shutdowns _ various situations.
      • Flow control.
      • Best practices for operation and CO2/GHG emissions to atmosphere.
      • Driver operation and impact on CO2/GHG emissions to atmosphere (Electrical motor and Steam or Gas turbine, according to the upstream/downstream audience.

  • CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSOR DYNAMIC SIMULATION - Duration : 1 Day

      • Normal run:
      • Performances changes vs operation conditions changes (pressure, gas composition/molecular weight, temperature, rotation speed): pressure ratio, operating point, discharge temperature, work and power, efficiency, CO2/GHG emissions to atmosphere trends.
      • Incidents during a run:
      • Typical incidents: filter clogging, instrumentation failure, oil circuit trouble…
      • Links to CO2/GHG emisisons to atmosphere.

Learning Objectives

  • Attendees will be able to implement the following skills:
  • Identify the main components of a centrifugal compressor and explain their role,
  • List and explain key points related to the operation of the machine,
  • Linking these key points to CO2 emissions to the atmosphere.

Ways & Means

  • Interactive course with digital applications.
  • Various technical drawings/data of actual compressors.
  • Use of a dynamic simulator.

Learning assessment

  • Quiz (entry/final).
