The primary objective of this book is to show the way to reduce cost and frequency of planned maintenance by detection of abnormalities on equipment’s operating and preset performance parameters.

About the Author

James M. Watterson has a PhD in mechanical engineering and is currently serving as independent training consultant with JMW, United Arab Emirates, since January 2003, and as part-time senior lecturer/lead trainer-commissioning and process start-up in the oil and gas refineries with ADNOC since February 2011. He trains groups of maintenance, operations, instrumentation, and planning engineers in groups of 8 to 20. This includes public courses and in-house courses. Usually spanning five days, these courses are highly interactive and use many types of software for vibration analysis, compressors-turbines. There are also many 3D animated videos for most rotating equipment. Coupled with this, he also provides self-assessment questions. Previously he was managing director at JW Management and Marketing Consultancy from September 1985 to October 2000.
