PROGRAM'S BACKGROUND


This program is designed to provide an in-depth perspective of pump technology in terms of selection, operation, and maintenance. Topics covered include pump types and terminology, centrifugal and positive displacement pumps, packing, mechanical seals and sealing systems, bearings, couplings and other vital components. In addition, various pump types will be examined as to how they perform in their respective operating systems and advantages / disadvantages of various pump types will be discussed. Pump operation, troubleshooting and maintenance will be dealt with in depth.

This program will provide participants with a complete and up to date knowledge of pumps and their systems. Further, participants will learn about selection, operation and maintenance strategies which will assist in increasing pump reliability and availability. Upon the completion of this program, participants will be able to troubleshoot most types of pump problems. The program will be conducted along program principles with formal lectures, case studies and interactive worked examples. Relevant case studies will be provided to illustrate the application of each tool in an operations environment. Each learning point will be enforced with practical exercises. There will be ample opportunities for discussion and sharing experiences.

In a nutshell, this program provides in depth understanding of the operation, selection, sizing, applications, sealing arrangements, troubleshooting, and maintenance of all types of pumps.
