Course Description
Gas turbines are high-value, high-criticality machines central to power generation and mechanical drive in oil and gas and utilities. This course provides comprehensive knowledge of gas turbine operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
Participants learn gas turbine fundamentals and thermodynamics, the operation of the compressor, combustion, and turbine sections, control and protection systems, hot-section and other maintenance, common failure modes, and systematic troubleshooting. The course equips personnel to operate and maintain gas turbines reliably and diagnose problems on these critical assets.
What you will achieve
By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
- Explain gas turbine fundamentals and the Brayton cycle
- Understand the compressor, combustion, and turbine sections
- Explain gas turbine performance and degradation
- Understand control and protection systems
- Apply gas turbine maintenance including hot-section maintenance
- Identify common gas turbine failure modes
- Troubleshoot gas turbine problems systematically
- Apply reliability best practices to gas turbines
How the course is delivered
The course combines gas turbine theory with practical operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting guidance. Real failure examples and troubleshooting scenarios build diagnostic capability on these critical, high-value assets.
The programme balances thermodynamic and mechanical understanding with hands-on maintenance and troubleshooting practice.
