THE PROGRAM

The Practical Centrifugal Pumps - OptimisingPerformance workshop is a comprehensive,highly practical and interactive two-dayworkshop.

You will have an opportunity to discuss pumpconstruction, design-applications, operations,maintenance and management issues and beprovided with the most up-to-date informationand best practice in dealing with the subject.

You will develop the skills and ability torecognise and solve pump problems in astructured and confident manner.

THE WORKSHOP

WORKSHOP OBJECTIVESYou will learn about:

• Various types of centrifugal pumps

• Relevant pump terminology and their keyapplications

• Pump characteristics and pump curves

• Pump calculations

• Auxiliary equipment associated with pumpingcircuits

• Operating pump systems - drafting the correctoperations, controls and procedures

• Pump reliability definition in terms of availability,criticality and wear characteristics

• Pump efficiency - capital, maintenance and lifecycle costs.

PRACTICAL SESSIONSWe have designed 7 practical tutorials during theworkshop to give you hands-on practice indesigning, setting up, troubleshooting andmaintaining pumps. ““““This course is excellent for

Technicians, Workshop Managers and Engineers.
