Turbomachinery & Pump Symposia

TPS: Where Engineering Knowledge Meets Real-World Reliability

In an industry where failure isn’t just inconvenient it can be catastrophic knowledge, collaboration, and continuous improvement are vital. The Turbomachinery & Pump Symposia (TPS) has long served as a trusted platform for professionals seeking to enhance their expertise, exchange ideas, and tackle real-world challenges in turbomachinery and pump systems.

Held annually and hosted by Texas A&M University’s Turbomachinery Laboratory, TPS is more than a conference it’s an industry mainstay. With a blend of technical training, peer-reviewed content, and practical case studies, it continues to support the development of engineers, operators, and technicians across energy, manufacturing, chemical, and industrial sectors.

A Technical Program Built by Industry, for Industry

Unlike some conferences driven by commercial agendas, the TPS technical program is curated by engineers and experts working directly in the field. Advisory committees made up of industry veterans, consultants, and end-users select each short course, lecture, and panel discussion with one question in mind: Will this make a real difference in the plant, in the field, or on the floor?

This emphasis on real-world applicability sets TPS apart. It’s not about buzzwords it’s about solving problems.

The technical program typically covers:

Machinery Maintenance & Troubleshooting
Practical instruction for diagnosing, correcting, and preventing mechanical failures.

Reliability Engineering
Strategies and technologies that improve uptime, reduce failures, and lower operational risk.

Pump & Turbomachinery Design Innovations
Exploring the latest research and field-tested innovations in compressors, turbines, and centrifugal pumps.

Case Studies & Lessons Learned
Honest, often unfiltered insights into what worked and what didn’t on major projects.

Emerging Technologies
From predictive analytics to additive manufacturing and AI, TPS explores how new tech is reshaping traditional workflows.

Continuing Education with a Competitive Edge

One of the most valuable offerings at TPS is its commitment to professional development. The symposia’s short courses, led by industry experts, offer deep dives into complex topics while providing practical takeaways.

These courses benefit:

Early-career engineers looking to build foundational knowledge

Experienced professionals refreshing or expanding their skills

Maintenance teams seeking actionable best practices

Managers aiming to improve system performance and asset reliability

Many attendees return year after year, not only for the new content, but for the continuity of learning. TPS acts as a technical checkpoint, helping professionals stay updated as machinery and methods evolve.

Open Access to Knowledge: Free Proceedings for All

In a world where technical knowledge is often locked behind paywalls or proprietary systems, TPS champions open access. Proceedings from the symposia including technical papers, presentation decks, and case studies are made available online, free of charge, six months after the event.

This archive is one of the most respected resources in the turbomachinery and pump industries. It allows engineers and operators around the world to:

Reference best practices from seasoned professionals

Review troubleshooting techniques for recurring issues

Study new technologies before adoption

Share information across teams and facilities

For many, the TPS archive is a go-to resource when facing difficult field challenges or planning capital upgrades.

Collaboration Over Competition: The TPS Community

What makes TPS especially unique is its culture. Despite covering complex technologies and high-stakes applications, the atmosphere is refreshingly collaborative. Engineers who might compete in the marketplace sit side by side to discuss common challenges bearing vibration, seal failure, flow instability not with corporate spin, but with sincerity.

At TPS, you can expect to:

Ask tough questions and get honest answers

Learn from real mistakes not just successes

Discover how others are adapting to similar pressures and constraints

Network with OEMs, end-users, consultants, and academia in one room

Who Should Attend TPS?

TPS is not a niche gathering. Its appeal spans industries, roles, and levels of experience. Whether you’re on the shop floor or in the C-suite, the content and connections at TPS can inform your decisions and improve your results.

Ideal attendees include:

Rotating equipment engineers

Maintenance and reliability professionals

Plant operators and field technicians

Engineering managers and superintendents

R&D and design engineers

Technical sales and OEM representatives

Academics and students in mechanical engineering

No matter your background, if you work with compressors, turbines, pumps, or supporting systems, TPS has something valuable to offer.

The Value of Case Studies: Lessons from the Front Lines

At the heart of TPS is one of its most popular content formats: case studies. These sessions present not just technical data, but the story behind the problem and the solution. Presenters walk audiences through real failures, missteps, recalibrations, and recoveries.

This honesty is a cornerstone of the TPS ethos. There’s immense value in learning from others' experiences especially when those lessons are shared openly, without fear of judgment or competitive secrecy.

Case studies typically focus on:

Field failures and root cause analyses

Performance improvements through design changes

Troubleshooting with limited resources

Human factors in maintenance or operation

Equipment upgrade results and ROI

Looking Ahead: Adapting to a Changing Industry

Turbomachinery and pump systems are foundational to power generation, refining, petrochemicals, and countless other sectors. But the challenges facing these systems are evolving faster than ever.

Key trends impacting the TPS agenda:

Energy transition and decarbonization goals
What role do pumps and compressors play in hydrogen, CCS, and renewables?

Digital transformation
How are digital twins, sensors, and AI optimizing machinery performance?

Aging assets and infrastructure
How can facilities extend the life of legacy systems while minimizing risk?

Global supply chain volatility
What maintenance strategies help navigate part shortages and lead-time issues?

TPS remains agile in its programming, continuously adapting to address these emerging realities.

A Platform for Progress and Practical Solutions

In the high-stakes world of industrial machinery, reliable performance isn’t optional it’s essential. The Turbomachinery & Pump Symposia remains a cornerstone for the professionals who keep our critical systems running.

From deep technical dives to collaborative problem-solving, TPS offers an experience that’s both educational and empowering. It’s a place where theory meets practice, and where engineers don’t just share ideas they solve problems together.
