INTRODUCTION

Welcome to O-SECUL Nigeria Ltd, a world of Engineering Knowledge.

In today’s business environment, where competition for talented and trained workers is at a premium, it is critical

that companies invest in a comprehensive maintenance skills training program not only to battle the skills shortage,

but to retain key maintenance personnel who will help the company move into a pro-active and reliability based

maintenance operation.

Our 2020 Training Brochure sets out a wide range of training courses that have been created to enable you to

develop a successful knowledge path for your staff.

A properly developed technical training process which starts with a maintenance skills assessment and identifies

instructional objectives and evaluation/assessment methods is the way forward.

Our customers’ training challenges are important to us. Drawing on years of productivity experience, we can

recommend a training solution that caters for the needs of everyone; from the shop floor to top management. We

can assist customers to identify skills deficiencies by conducting a Training Needs Analysis (TNA) competency

assessment, which can then be followed with tailored industry application training courses that provide outcomes,

directly transferable to the workplace practices.

As always, our customers who attend O-SECUL training courses will learn and gain knowledge from experienced

facilitators. We ensure O-SECUL Reliability Systems strives for continuous improvement and client satisfaction.

Most of our opened courses are expected to be held at O-SECUL Training Centre Warri, 149 Airport Road opposite

First Bank. The Centre is spacious with classrooms tastefully equipped to make learning an unforgettable

experience.

However, we also carry out customized training which is tailored to client’s need. Such courses are usually held in-

house or in-plant as may be desired by the client.

Whether in-house or open courses, O-SECUL attaches great importance to any training that presents itself, because

we believe that training for any organization that seeks high productivity from staff is not just the yearly ritual of

meeting KPIs but a critical concern that is key to growth and sustainability with noticeable Return on Training

Investment (RoTI).

At our disposal, we have State-of-the-art Demo/miniature units for Hands-on training in the various engineering

fields in carrying out these training which includes but not limited to Vibration Training Simulator, Vibration Data

Collector & Analyzer, Mini Lab Oil Analyzer, Ultrasonic inspection equipment and Cathodic Protection Equipment,

Laser Alignment & In-Situ Balancing equipment, Infrared Camera, Portable Instrument calibrators etc.

We also run courses in Europe, USA and the Middle East with our foreign partners.

The dates contained in this training brochure are purely for planning purposes, and are therefore subject to change.

• Vibrations Analysts

• Maintenance Engineers/technicians

• Rotating Equipment Engineers

• Condition- based Monitoring Engineers

• Reliability Engineers

• Process Engineers

• Instrument and Control Engineers

• Production Engineers

Topics:

• Maintenance practices: Why we perform vibration analysis; also PM, PdM, and RCM.

• Condition monitoring: Learn about all the key technologies: Infrared Thermography, Oil analysis, Electric Current

Analysis, Vibration analysis and Ultrasound.

• Vibration: What is it, what does it tell us about machine condition, what is a time waveform, what is a spectrum,

and what are overall level readings.

• Data collection: Sensors, mounting methods, how to collect good data.

• Correction: An overview of balancing and alignment.

Duration: 5 days

Examination: Having successfully completed the course you will be eligible to take the certification exam.

Certification requirement: Passing the certification exam 6 months experience

ISO CATEGORY II VIBRATION ANALYSIS

CAT II is for experienced vibration practitioners who are familiar with vibration data collection and want to advance their

knowledge and ability to diagnose machinery issues. As a Category II analyst you are expected to know how to test machines

correctly, how to diagnose faults accurately (and perform additional tests to verify your diagnosis), how to set vibration

alarm limits, and how to correct certain types of faults. Now it is time to understand what those analyzer settings mean so

that you can take the best measurements. Now it is time to understand why the vibration patterns change the way they do –

and how to use time waveform analysis and phase analysis to verify the fault condition.

We are offering you the opportunity to not only learn these topics, but to truly understand the analyzer and machine so that

you feel confident in the decisions you make.

Course Objectives:

You will come away from the course with a solid understanding of:

• How a well-designed program, and the reliability centered maintenance approach (with precision balancing, alignment,

lubrication and resonance control), will improve the OEE and therefore the bottom line

• The condition monitoring technologies: acoustic emission, infrared analysis (thermography), oil analysis, wear particle

analysis, motor testing – via supplementary training

• How machines work – via supplementary self-study via the “Equipment Knowledge” section

• How to select the correct measurement location and axis, and collect good, repeatable measurements

• What the Fmax, resolution, averaging and other analyser settings mean, and how to select the optimum settings for a

wide variety of machine types

• How to analyze vibration spectra, time waveforms, envelope (demodulation), and phase measurements

• How to diagnose a wide range of fault conditions: unbalance, eccentricity, misalignment, bent shaft, cocked bearing,

looseness, rolling element bearings faults, journal bearing faults, gearbox faults, resonance, and other conditions

• How to set alarm limits manually and with statistics

• How to balance and align a machine, and correct a resonance condition

Who should attend?

If you have been performing vibration analysis for more than twelve months, and feel that you have a good understanding of

the fundamentals, then you are ready to step up to the Category II course. (Note that you require 18 months experience to

be certified.) Anyone who wants to be confident and capable of diagnosing a wide range of fault conditions, correct certain

conditions and taking accurate measurements needs to take this course. Many plant sites require contractors to be certified,

and many employers require employees to be certified.
