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.
