Why Choose this Training Course?

Pumps of various designs and applications are encountered nowadays throughout petrochemical and process industries as well as in power generation and environmental engineering. Pumping systems have to provide efficient transport of various liquids, sometimes complex and difficult two-phase fluids. Although there has been great progress in pump design in recent years, there are still many issues related to the mechanical and hydraulic problems to be considered that are associated with efficient operation of the whole pumping system. There is always need for optimization of the pumping system in operation with the goal of reducing the overall costs of production.

This intensive Pumps & Pumping Systems Optimization training course will provide an overview of important technical aspects of pumps and pumping systems as encountered in industrial applications. Of special interest will be centrifugal pumps as well as other types of positive displacement pumps. This PetroKnowledge course will also concentrate on the thorough understanding of technical principles of fluid flow in pumping systems as a prerequisite for successful pump operation. The focus will be on the elimination of potential problems as well as on pump inspection and condition monitoring. The training course will include several real-life case studies that will be solved in the form of workshops in order to illustrate the methods of efficient operation and maintenance of pumping systems.

The Pumps & Pumping Systems Optimization training course will highlight:

  • Importance of proper selection of pumping system for the given application
  • Principles of efficient operation of pumping equipment
  • Steps in optimization of pumping system for the given operation
  • Explanation of the root causes of problems in pumping systems
  • Condition monitoring procedures
  • Methods of maintenance, repair and troubleshooting of the pumping system

What are the Goals?

By the end of this Pumps & Pumping Systems Optimization training course, participants will learn to:

  • Make the adequate selection of various types of pumps based on the application
  • Optimize the efficiency of operation of pumping systems
  • Analyze the problems in operation related to seals, bearings and flow control
  • Use the root cause analysis in detecting problems of pumping system & piping
  • Apply the best practices for maintenance, problem solving & troubleshooting

Who is this Training Course for?

 This Pumps & Pumping Systems Optimization training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

  • Mechanical & Process engineers working in petrochemical and process industry
  • Technologists in Power Generation, Water Supply & Environmental Engineering
  • Technical personnel who deal with piping and flow control systems
  • Operators & Maintenance personnel
  • Technical personnel in charge of inspection of pumping system 

How will this Training Course be Presented?

The PetroKnowledge training course will be conducted along the workshop principles with formal lectures and interactive examples and problem solving. This will result in the active participation of all participants in the teamwork and class discussions. The course will also include the real life problem solving with case studies, calculations and pump operation simulations, as well as relevant videos. Examples will be selected so as to provide physical understanding of the problems in operation and to illustrate the methods and tools of problem solving and troubleshooting. There will be ample opportunities for active, open discussions and sharing professional experiences on various industrial applications. All course materials will be provided.
