Optimize plant asset safety and reliability while minimizing operating costs with this invaluable guide to the engineering, operation and maintenance of rotating equipment

Based upon his multi-volume Rotating Equipment Handbooks, Forsthoffer's Best Practice Handbook for Rotating Machinery summarises, expands and updates the content from these previous books in a convenient all-in-one volume. Offering comprehensive technical coverage and insider information on best practices derived from lessons learned in the engineering, operation and maintenance of a wide array of rotating equipment, this new title presents:

- A unique "Best Practice" and "Lessons Learned" chapter framework, providing bite-sized, troubleshooting instruction on complex operation and maintenance issues across a wide array of industrial rotating machinery.

- Five chapters of completely new material combined with updated material from earlier volumes, making this the most comprehensive and up-to-date handbook for rotary equipment currently available.

Intended for maintenance, engineering, operation and management, Forsthoffer's Best Practice Handbook for Rotating Machinery is a one-stop resource, packed with a lifetime's rotating machinery experience, to help you improve efficiency, safety, reliability and cost.

Zielgruppe

<p>Operators, maintenance engineers and technicians, especially in gas, oil, water, mining, chemical, power and other process industries. Middle managers will appreciate the "best practices" framework of this book, which allows for quick and easy reference of tested and proven best practices in global equipment.</p>
