1-day course
CPD Credit: 6 hours, C1
Course Overview
This course will provide an insight to pump application, selection, operation, and maintenance. It is an introductory course that will focus on hydraulic system behaviour, pumps, and components within the pumping system and how these are interconnected.
Delegates will gain knowledge in understanding pump performance characteristics and how it relates to the overall system. The effects of system and/or changes to energy usage and pump reliability will also be highlighted.
Course Aim
The primary objective is to give each delegate a fundamental knowledge of the basic principles of pumps. It will focus on the definitions of various pumps such as positive displacement and rotodynamic pumps and explanation of the important technical concepts relating to pumps.
These are the different types of pumps, pump selection criteria, pump performance curves, system curves, cavitation, and pump operation.
The course will cover, but is not limited to:
Properties of Fluids
Introduction to pump types
Pump components
Pump operating principles
System curve
Pump curve
Suction conditions and Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH)
Selection and sizing
Pumping various liquids
Pump drivers
Installation and operation of pumping equipment
Who Should Attend?
This course is focused to the needs of chemical, instrumentation, maintenance, and mechanical engineers and technicians working with pumps across the biopharma, food, water and wastewater, chemical and power generation sectors.
