- Course Introduction:
Steam turbines remain essential prime movers in the oil & gas, petrochemical, and power-generation industries. Their reliability, efficiency, and ability to operate under demanding process conditions make them a critical component of modern rotating equipment systems. This course provides a structured and practical introduction to steam turbine design, operation, and maintenance, with specific emphasis on the requirements of API Standard 611 and API Standard 612, the industry’s most widely recognized specifications for general-purpose and special-purpose steam turbines.
SteamTurbines
Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of turbine fundamentals covering thermodynamic principles, mechanical design, lubrication systems, and auxiliary components. The course then builds on this foundation by exploring how API 611 and API 612 define performance expectations, safety considerations, construction features, allowable tolerances, inspection requirements, and documentation standards.
Special attention is given to differentiating between general-purpose turbines (API 611) commonly used in less severe service, and special-purpose turbines (API 612), designed for critical, continuous-duty applications with higher performance demands.
Through case studies, real-world examples, and interpretation of API requirements, trainees will be equipped to specify, procure, operate, troubleshoot, and maintain steam turbines in compliance with industry best practices.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to confidently apply API standards to ensure reliability, efficiency, and long service life of turbine equipment in their facilities.
