COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Features and Technology of Pumps & Pipe Systems. It covers the purpose, applications and types of pump systems and basic fluid mechanics for piping and pumping; the pump classifications and operations, pipe materials and classifications, pipe flow fundamentals and pump and pipe system components; the centrifugal pump technology and positive displacement pump technology; the pump sizing and selection and pump installation and commissioning; the common pump issues and troubleshooting covering cavitation and air entrainment, seal and bearing failure, excessive vibration and noise and overheating and dry running;  and the pump efficiency and energy considerations including pipe sizing and flow calculations. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the pressure losses and pump head, surge and water hammer control, thermal effects and pipe expansion, pipe supports and layout and CAD and simulation tools for pipe systems; the pump control systems, instrumentation for pipe and pump monitoring, valve automation and control; the maintenance strategies for pump and pipe systems; the system integration and P&ID interpretation and safety and environmental considerations; the smart pumping systems and IIoT and corrosion; and the erosion in piping systems and energy optimization in pump and pipe networks.
