 This is Abhishek, a process engineer employed in Mumbai. I wanted to know about good training programs on centrifugal pumps and compressors here in India.
I hold a BE mechanical. Though there are good courses by J M campbell etc, they are too costly and not in india...

Well,I have all the videos I can get from youtube. I have purchased around 10 books on pumps. But to a class room training is different. Thats why I asked. Many US companies conduct these kind of trainings. I was wondering if we have something like this in India or nearby ( Singapore). I am ready to pay ( reasonabe). Not about basics. About advanced level training.

well Bobby,

                       I am looking for;

 

1. Basics - function, operation, hydraulics, NPSH etc.

2. Mechanical Seals- pumps.

2. Best Practices.

if possible, a certification. I want to be a rotating equipments expert engineer. Time frame is 2 years. I will read every book I can find and attend every  training I can afford. To virtually solve any problem with pumps, gas compressors and gas turbines.

regards.

You stated you are after "advanced level training" and then you defined for Bobby Strain that you after

1. Basics - function, operation, hydraulics, NPSH etc.
2. Mechanical Seals- pumps.
3. Best Practices

These are all basic knowledge, not advanced at all.  Getting a "certification" (which only acknowledges that you studied the material) doesn't make you a credible "expert" on the material.  In order to achieve what you are looking for you have to acquire field, hands-on, successful experience as well as the normal class room theory.  The class room theory is the easiest to acquire.  The proven, successful field experience is the hard part.

thats what i meant. as i am a process engineer, i dont get that much hands on experience as maintenance engineers. But I would like to do more hands on. That will be possible in some of the trainings. like john crane's mechanical seals training is 1/4 part hands on ..
