Pumps Design, Selection, Operation, Maintenance & Troubleshooting

Course Overview

This course aims to convey the latest thinking and best practice of Rotating Equipment Machinery Components Especially Pumps which we consider it the important types of Rotating Equipment, also will explain to the participants’ conditions monitoring and analysis via lectures, case studies, video films, and course activities.

The course gives a detailed advanced treatment of the detection, location, and diagnosis of faults and failures in Pumps. Case studies and examples are used throughout the course to emphasize key points and to underline the relevance and applicability of the topics being addressed.

The course will provide a refreshment of knowledge for how both of their concepts and how it works and what are main problems facing it during operations of them. Also, it will provide a solid foundation for technologists moving into a machine monitoring and diagnostic role.

Course Objectives

By the end of this training participants will be able:

To familiarize participants with the different types of Pumps and the range of their applications.
To deepen the participant’s understanding of the limits of Pumps operation.
Learn the Critical Symptoms of Pump Operation
Enhance the knowledge of Pump Sealing and Rolling Elements
Gain additional knowledge on the Inspection and Maintenance of Centrifugal Pumps
To enable/ assist the participants to read and interpret the performance curves of Pumps
To provide an overview of testing standards/codes.
To Understand Operation, Maintenance & Troubleshooting aspects including the Start-up, priming, and shutdown.
