Steam turbines are versatile prime movers used extensively in power generation, combined heat and power applications, and industrial plants. Their capacities range from small units to large utility machines, and their efficiency and lower operating costs have made them a long-established alternative to reciprocating steam engines.

Because steam-turbine failures can interrupt production and cause costly consequential damage, operations and maintenance personnel need a sound understanding of turbine principles, construction, ancillary systems, safe operation and performance monitoring. This two-day programme provides that practical grounding and gives participants a forum to discuss plant issues and improvement ideas with an experienced trainer.
