In every plant or production operation system, we find pumps. However, unlike bolts and nuts, neither industry nor production-operation management will put pumps in stock. It is NOT cost effective and is very uncommon practice to put a complete set of pump in the warehouse stock due to financial reasons. This five-day training will provide a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of pump selection, installation, operation, and maintenance program. The training will concentrate in centrifugal pump as they are the most common one used in the industries and day life.
Course Objectives
Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:
- Refresh the knowledge of the participants on fluid mechanic and pump characteristics
- Understand centrifugal-pump basic-system design, selection, operation, treatment and installation
- Learn the critical symptoms of pump operation
- Enhance the knowledge on pump sealing and rolling elements
- Gain additional knowledge on inspection and maintenance of centrifugal pumps
Who Should Attend?
This course is intended for engineers, production operators, technicians, asset management team members, maintenance and operation personnel, experienced professionals who want to refresh or broaden their understanding of pumps and other professionals who want better understanding of the subject.
