Steam Turbine Professional Training Course

Overview Objectives Audience Methodology Contents Certificate FAQ's

Course Overview

Steam Turbines are used extensively in the process industries. They mainly contribute to combined cycle and cogeneration plants and in industrial applications with widely varying configurations. Steam power is one of the major power sources for large industries. Steam turbines represent a significant part of the capital and operating costs of most plants, which play major economic importance. Moreover, the unexpected shutdown of the significant equipment can lead to major financial implications and damage to the reputation of the firm.

This course will cover the operating principles of steam turbines. Upon completion of this course, participants will have gained a thorough understanding of the various centrifugal steam turbine configurations available. The course will cover mechanical design features, sizing and application criteria and operations of Turbines. Additionally, participants will gain knowledge on maintainability, reliability, vulnerability and troubleshooting issues.
