Operator’s Guide to Rotating Equipment by Julien Lebleu Jr, Robert Perez _ An Introduction to Rotating Equipment Construction, Operating Principles, Troubleshooting, and Best Practices. Rotating machines power our production facilities by safely transporting a wide variety of liquids, gases, and solids. Those of you who have worked in a production site for any length of time knows that not all process machines are created equal. Some are more critical than others; some are small and some are very large; some spin fast and some turn very slowly. The great diversity in their construction and application can be daunting to a new operator and a challenge to the veteran.
