Welcome to

“This event is a stepping stone to understanding and developing solutions to the common problems facing the industry.”

Ali Mohammed Al-Asmi, Senior Mechanical Engineer, Petroleum Development Oman

A lot of money, time and effort is spent on rotating equipment maintenance and reliability.

Production and output of entire plants depend on the equipment that you are responsible for.

It is essential that you are up-to-date with different maintenance, reliability and diagnostic strategies to maximise online availability and output.

ROTATE 13

returns with its well established and well known - 17th edition with new case studies, new speakers and more interactive formats as well as a newly instated advisory board to ensure best quality content.

With hands-on tutorials and interactive roundtables, this year’s agenda will create more opportunities for interactive learning and sharing of best practices between rotating equipment engineers from different organisations and plants.

THE ADVISORY BOARD includes rotating equipment experts from across the world ensuring that only the highest quality content will be delivered and shared at the conference.

These are some of the new developments to ensure that you have a fulfilling and practical learning experience at Rotate 13. The new additions will make sure that the lessons learnt over the four day event, can be immediately implemented when you head back to your plant.

Condition Monitoring Use To Determine The Health Of Babbitted Bearings

Managing Mechanical Equipment Asset Health: Developing A Proactive Maintenance Strategy

Workshop Details: End users are often interested in extending run times and one factor that influences when to take an outage is the health of the babbitted bearings. This workshop will help to understand the health of operating bearings and introduce factors that can lead to more robust bearing designs. Note this workshop is specifically for API type equipment (instrumented accordingly) operating on babbitted bearings.

Outcomes: Successful participants will be able to: 1. Hydrodynamic bearing operation 2. Introduction to Condition Monitoring • Vibration and rotor position monitoring • Bearing temperature monitoring • Other topics 3. Introduction to oil analysis 4. Bearing design to avoid failure • Common Bearing Failure mechanisms • Robust bearing design • Case studies Your workshop leader:

Workshop Details: A proactive maintenance strategy should focus the initiatives on the early identification and elimination of defects. A failure mode driven maintenance strategy along with a structured workflow model set up the baseline for an optimized PM/Condition Monitoring program, this with a well defined planning and scheduling process are the key factors to aim and hit maintenance excellence.

Outcomes: Successful participants will be able to: 1. Asset Health as key indicator of maintenance performance 2. Elements of a Proactive Workflow Process 3. Implementation of a maintenance strategy in a practical and sustainable way 4. Key points to do at each level of the organization to support a maintenance strategy 5. Reason why implementations fail Your workshop leader:
