2. Optimizing Gas Turbines and Life Management
About the Course
This course is focused on the skills and knowledge required by
gas turbine asset managers to make critical operation decisions
in order to maintain and support gas turbines in a cost effective
and low risk manner whilst maximizing life extension options.
The prime aim of the course is to understand the rationale and
technical basis behind effective management of gas turbines,
with a particular emphasis on components operating in the hot
gas path section. Led by practicing engineers acknowledged
internationally as experts in their field, the course is designed to
be extremely interactive with group discussions.
Key benefits of attending:
This course will enable you to:
• Understand the techniques and skills required to life assess
gas turbine critical components
• Develop a detailed knowledge on material systems
employed in the gas turbine and degradation mechanisms
• Learn some common causes of turbine component failures
• Obtain an understanding in making effective management
decisions on overhaul scheduling and condition assessment
techniques
• Interactive technical discussion and share knowledge and
experiences
