| The course will introduce participants to the different types of pumps and their associated terminology. Centrifugal and Positive-Displacement pumps, packing, mechanical seals and sealing systems, bearings and couplings will all be discussed. The application of the different types of pumps will be discussed along with their suitability for different operational duties. Pump operation, troubleshooting and maintenance will be dealt with in depth. effect of piping loads and energy savings through efficiency improvement and identification of the regime of operation to avoid problems present practical and immediate opportunities for implementation at the plant level. |
- Be familiar with different pump classes and types
- Be able to operate pumps as close as possible to the design efficiency
- Will be able to monitor pump efficiency, availability and reliability
- Have learnt about selection, operation and maintenance strategies
- Be able to evaluate and implement energy savings and determine best operating zones
- Be able to troubleshoot pump problems
