Inspection & Maintenance of Steam Turbine (IMST)

Inspection & Maintenance of Steam Turbine

Code: IMST

This 3-day intensive training program equips engineers, supervisors, and technicians with practical knowledge and skills to operate, inspect, and maintain steam turbines in oil & gas and process industries. The course builds a strong foundation in turbine principles, components, and control systems, then progresses into routine and advanced maintenance practices, outage planning, inspection techniques, and troubleshooting of critical turbine systems such as rotors, blades, seals, bearings, and governing systems. By the end of the program, participants will be prepared to enhance turbine reliability, minimize downtime, and extend asset life in demanding industrial environments

Course Objectives

• Understand steam turbine principles, components, and auxiliary systems in oil & gas operations
• Apply best practices for routine maintenance and inspection programs
• Plan and manage minor, intermediate, and major inspections/outages effectively
• Perform condition monitoring using vibration, thermal, and oil analysis
• Diagnose and troubleshoot common turbine failures to improve reliability and safety

Course Content

• Introduction to gas turbines and their applications
• Key components – compressor, combustion chamber, turbine, and auxiliaries
• Gas turbine operation and control systems
