Outline of JCCP Regular Course TR-8-22

Objectives of this course are to provide participants with the ability to develop measures to enhance the reliability of rotating equipment, by having them learn about the following issues:

・Technical elements that affect the reliability of rotating machinery, quality in the design and manufacturing 
    process of rotating machinery
・Both theoretical and practical information on reliability management, and 
・Evaluation techniques necessary for judging abnormalities in rotating machinery.

1. Classroom Lectures:
・Overview of the Japanese petroleum industry
・Japanese oil companies’ technical strategy on the reliability of rotating machinery
・Theoretical of condition monitoring for rotating machinery

2. On-site Training (Content):

    technology demonstration plant for next-generation advanced combined cycle)
・Bearing manufacturer (selection criteria and maintenance practice of bearings)
・Mechanical seal manufacturer (reliability factors on pump seals and couplings)
・Maintenance service contractor
    (contractor’s responsibilities on inspection and maintenance work at refineries)
・Oil refining company (general site inspection tour, information exchanges with 
    refinery maintenance engineers)

3. Workshop: Group discussion for enhanced reliability of rotating machineries.
