Introduction

Mechanical engineering is at the center of the chemical, oil, gas, and petrochemical industries. It requires familiarity not only with sound engineering principles but also with other engineering techniques including inspection, monitoring, and condition evaluation. The mechanical engineer is interested in safe containment and movement of solids, liquids, and gases. Of specific importance are material properties, design, static & rotating equipment design, inspection, and repair as well as an understanding of maintenance strategies and condition monitoring.

Conference Objectives of Fundamentals of Mechanical Technology

This seminar focuses on the central areas of mechanical engineering and guides the delegates in developing both fundamental and practical understandings of key issues. Workshop examples will be drawn from the oil and gas mechanical equipment.

Conference Process of Fundamentals of Mechanical Technology

The course combines sound engineering principles, methods, and applicable codes & standards and best industry practices. Actual major incidents as well as industry experience will be reviewed in depth to reinforce every topic.

Conference Benefits of Fundamentals of Mechanical Technology

Upon completion of this workshop, the delegates will develop both fundamental and practical understanding of central issues in mechanical engineering as applied in the petrochemical and allied industries.

Conference Results of Fundamentals of Mechanical Technology

The seminar provides a practical introduction to the fundamentals of mechanical engineering thereby developing perspective and focus from a company viewpoint.

Core Competencies of Fundamentals of Mechanical Technology

Delegates will enhance their competencies in the following areas:
