Seminars

BETA's training services are intended to equip our customers with the technical background and practical tips to make better business decisions. The intended audience includes staff from packagers, EPC firms, and end users, who are involved with machinery systems. 


December - BETA, with guest presenters from Ariel and Industrious Solutions: Reciprocating Compressor Training for Facilities Calgary, AB, Canada, December 6-7, 2011.

September - BETA, with guest presenters from Ariel and Petromesh: Reciprocating Compressor Training Calgary, AB, Canada, September 28-29, 2011.

August - Compressor Station Vibration through the GMRC, Houston, TX, USA, August 30-Sept 1, 2011


Well trained people are essential to the design, commissioning, and maintenance of production equipment – especially with rapidly changing technology and systems.

 Using animations, case studies, theory, and practical applications, BETA's technical seminars introduce the concepts of pulsation, vibration and other reliability problems associated with reciprocating compressors and other rotating machines. Web-based programs may also be available for remote locations.

Seminar Topics

Seminars are customized to meet the specific interests of our audience. We can include other topics, or allocate more or less time to a topic to match your needs.

Training Seminars can include these topics

  • Overview of reliability issues affecting compressors, pumps and other production machinery
  • New changes to API 618 (5th edition) affecting new or modified reciprocating compressor packages
  • Vibration and pulsation basics for pumps and reciprocating machines

Why BETA seminars?

Quite simply, because we know what we're doing. We believe that educated customers make good decisions, so, really, it is in our interest to provide relevant and practical training to customers.

More companies trust their compressor vibration design studies to BETA than any other machinery consultant. Our goal is to ensure responsive service and practical advice that delivers great results. BETA works closely with packagers, OEMs, ECs, owners and operators to ensure reliable rotating and reciprocating machinery.

We’ve taken this same approach to help customers fix difficult reliability, vibration and performance problems with existing equipment in the field.

We also provide a unique condition and performance monitoring service for gas producing facilities such as offshore platforms, remote compressor stations and plants. Customers trust BETA to monitor their centrifugal, screw and reciprocating compressors, pumps, engines, turbines, motors and other equipment. This simple, but effective program delivers results, including a fast payback.
