Course Description:

Steam turbines became widely adopted and many thousands of sets are now installed worldwide. The development of steam turbine from the theoretical stage to its present worldwide adoption has three main inputs. The increase in the size and complexity of steam turbines has resulted in maintenance being accepted as an important mainstream function in such companies.

This course provides the participants with the means to properly maitain and support the steam turbines in a way based on the good acquaintance with the modern technologies applied in this field.

Course Goal:

To enhance the participant’s knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to give him some practical exposures to help maintain the steam turbines in good operational conditions and cope with the emergency cases of breakdown
