Our Rotating Equipment Lubrication course provides the most advanced and up-to-date knowledge available to assist plants through these changing times.

Power, petrochemical, and gas compression plants have very specific operating conditions and lubrication requirements. The industry has undergone rapid changes over the last decade as lubricant manufacturers have reformulated products to keep up with the developments in rotating equipment technology. These changes have spread throughout the industry.

The result is that the oil condition monitoring tools and contamination control technologies that have been successful in the past are not necessarily relevant today.

Over the course of 2 days, you will receive the latest research on plant lubrication, providing attendees with valuable tools that can be implemented upon return to their plant. This course will immediately impact your plant's reliability and availability by maximizing your oil performance.
