About the conference:
In an effort to enhance reliability and performance, process industry has been structuring strategies and striking innovation for decades by
adopting new technology and procedures. Rotating Equipments being one of the most critical components of these process plants, remain the
common cause of sudden downtime with abrupt equipment failures. Industry professionals aim to endeavour asset performance ensuring the
sustainability and maintainability of these equipments. The 2nd Annual Rotating Equipment Reliability and Maintenance Conference, the key event
of Saudi Arabia is back with a technical forum for the maintenance and reliability professionals. This forum would highlight the major challenges
and failures of different types of rotating equipments and its components coupled with the strategies and best practices of maintenance.
