Power Engineering - Dresser-Rand announces 2003 product training programs

OLEAN, New York. December 31, 2002 - To continue meeting the needs of its clients worldwide, Dresser-Rand is offering a comprehensive schedule of product training programs for operations and maintenance personnel for 2003.

For more than 30 years, D-R has offered a wide range of operation and maintenance programs to help reduce their clients' equipment maintenance costs and ensure reliability for all product lines.

Areas of concentration for the courses include steam turbines, reciprocating process gas / high speed separable compressors, integral gas engines, turbomachinery and centrifugal products, and control systems. The courses target operators, mechanics, supervisors, and engineers with emphasis on the practical aspects of machine reliability, repair, and troubleshooting.

Instructor-led courses are offered at D-R manufacturing facilities in upstate New York, and at company training centers in LeHavre, France, and Wythenshawe, U.K. For client convenience, these programs also are conducted at D-R regional service centers throughout North America and Canada, and at client-selected sites. Hands-on, interactive courses are conducted at locations throughout North America, as well as the Dresser-Rand training facility in Wythenshawe, U.K.

In addition to scheduled classes, customized, machine-specific programs can be arranged. "If there is a group of people to be trained from a particular facility, we can research the equipment records and provide a program that's specific to that machinery," said Lee Golder, manager, Product Training at Dresser-Rand. "Our instructors can travel to your site, conduct the training program, and keep client travel costs to a minimum."

Also, hands-on programs can be customized for a client's specific needs. "Our hands-on equipment is easy to off-load and can be shipped anywhere in continental North America."

"Students can register for the courses months ahead of the scheduled date," Golder said, "and can register for any of the programs by phone, fax, or on our web site." In the United States, credit card payment is accepted.
