COURSE OVERVIEW:

In the world of rotating machinery, lubrication is the literal lifeblood of the asset, yet it is often the most overlooked aspect of maintenance. This course provides a comprehensive strategy for achieving "Lubrication Excellence," moving beyond simple oil changes to a rigorous contamination control program. It focuses on the technical principles of friction reduction and the devastating impact of moisture and particulate matter on component life.

The scope of this training involves the entire "Cradle to Grave" journey of the lubricant, including selection, storage, handling, and analysis. Participants will learn how to interpret viscosity requirements, select the correct additive packages for specific environments, and implement world-class storage room standards. The curriculum emphasizes the "Six Rights" of lubrication: the right lubricant, in the right place, at the right time, in the right quantity, with the right quality, and using the right method.

Coverage includes advanced contamination control techniques, such as the use of high-efficiency breathers, filtration systems, and sealed transfer containers. Attendees will explore the fundamentals of oil analysis, learning how to use lab reports to detect early signs of wear and fluid degradation. By the end of this course, participants will be able to implement a lubrication program that significantly extends the life of bearings and gearboxes while reducing overall maintenance costs and unplanned downtime.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

• Define the core functions of lubricants and the physics of friction.
• Select the correct lubricant based on speed, load, and temperature.
• Interpret the ISO Cleanliness Code (ISO 4406) for oils and fuels.
• Implement a "World-Class" lubricant storage and handling facility.
• Design a contamination control strategy for moisture and particulates.
• Utilize advanced filtration systems to achieve target cleanliness levels.
• Apply proper "Grease Relubrication" calculations and techniques.
• Interpret oil analysis reports to identify wear and chemical changes.
• Standardize lubrication labeling and color-coding across the plant.
• Conduct a "Lubrication Audit" to identify gaps in current practices.
• Justify the investment in high-quality lubricants and hardware.
• Train field personnel in precision lubrication and sampling methods.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This course is essential for Lubrication Technicians, Maintenance Supervisors, Reliability Engineers, Mechanical Fitters, and Plant Engineers responsible for rotating equipment health.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximize the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
