Turbo and Pump Show 2025

Program:

One of the greatest assets of the Turbomachinery & Pump Symposia is its professional continuing education program, relied upon by rotating equipment and pump engineers and technicians worldwide, spanning oil and gas, petrochemical, power, aerospace, chemical and water industries.

The program, which consists of short courses, case studies, discussion groups, lectures and tutorials, is hand-picked by two advisory committees, made up of recognized leaders in the turbomachinery and pump communities. It is led by highly-respected practitioners and pioneers in their fields. Topics include maintenance, reliability, troubleshooting and instruction on emerging designs, technology, and best practices that include case studies with real-world relevance on problems-solved and lessons-learned.

The Proceedings from each Symposia become available to the public at no cost six months after the event. This means all of the content from all TPS technical sessions is accessible online, for free. The Turbomachinery Laboratory at Texas A&M is proud to host a platform for the exchange of ideas that impact turbomachinery, pump and related industries.
