The course begins with a half-day theoretical session addressing various aspects of transformer condition assessment. Case studies are used to help participants learn how to interpret results and formulate recommendations.

The objective is for participants to gain the knowledge needed to devise and implement effective oil analysis programmes, monitor transformer condition, and understand oil analysis reports as part of a maintenance strategy.

What are best practices? What are the degradation mechanisms in lubricating oils? Which analyses are used for which types of equipment? How frequently should analyses be carried out? How to interpret test results? How to use analysis results? Case studies are used to learn how to interpret results and formulate recommendations.

This basic training on the Laborelec vibration monitoring system (LVMS) for operators extends participants’ general knowledge of vibrations and the interpretation of measurement results to get the best out of the LVMS. The focus is on understanding the measurements, the LVMS system, and the alarms.

The objective is for participants to gain the knowledge needed to devise and implement effective oil analysis programmes, monitor transformer condition, and understand oil analysis reports as part of a maintenance strategy.

The course covers, in detail, non-destructive testing (NDT) methods on concrete, how to achieve a balance between using destructive and non-destructive methods, and how to formulate reliable and cost-effective examination procedures.

Non-destructive testing (NDT) for 3D-printed parts faces new challenges. This course addresses these, ensuring reliable analysis and quality control in sectors like aerospace, automotive, and nuclear, where safety is critical.

The course covers the chemical aspects of the water-steam cycle. Included are the various types of chemicals used in boilers, potential issues in the water-steam cycle, monitoring, and specifications for target values and alarm levels. Actions to be taken in the event of chemistry-related incidents are also discussed.

The course is a general introduction to cooling circuits in industry, power plants, and other industrial sectors. Participants get an overview of typical designs, the principal components, and the three main issues that could arise in cooling circuits: biofouling, scaling, and corrosion.

The course aims to provide participants with a knowledge base on technologies used to produce demineralised water (via resins or membranes). In addition to basic theory, the content is supplemented by the field experience of Laborelec experts in industrial and power plants.

The course is a general introduction to water chemistry in power plants. Attendees get an overview of the water-steam cycle, cooling-water circuits, and how demineralized water is produced.
