The primary objective of the pump and system training course is to minimize the expenses associated with pump ownership and operation. Organizations invest significant amounts in pump maintenance and repairs, with a high failure rate observed in nine out of ten pumps. By enhancing reliability, substantial cost reductions can be achieved in pump ownership. Power consumption represents a major expense for any organization. By reducing the power requirements for operating pumps, the overall cost of pump ownership can be significantly decreased. Attending this course will empower participants with the skills to enhance pump reliability and decrease power consumption, ultimately leading to a substantial improvement in the organization's profitability.

Course Objectives:

Understand how the system controls the pump
Learn how to read a pump curve and how pumps really operate
Learn how the flowrate impacts on pump reliability – what is the reliable operating range
Design better systems and select better pumps, leading to improved reliability
Avoid operational problems that lead to pump failures
Understand what cavitations is, why it occurs and how to avoid it
Know how pumps should be installed and commissioned – avoid those common commissioning failures
Learn why pumps vibrate and why seals and bearings fail
