Introduction
Training course introducion / brief
Centrally positioned in industrial processes, pumps stand out as one of the most prevalent machines globally. Despite their widespread usage, pumps are frequently underestimated in their potential to enhance productivity or contribute to excessive costs when not operated correctly. Various factors and circumstances can lead to pump failure, necessitating swift removal from service. It is imperative for maintenance engineers, and particularly plant operators, to possess a thorough understanding of operational guidelines for the proper utilization of pumps in manufacturing and industrial settings, emphasizing adherence to best practices.
Course Objectives
At the end of the training course, participants will be able to
- Gain a comprehensive understanding of the different types of Pumps and the range of their applications.
- Understand the limits of Pumps operation.
- Identify the roles and responsibilities in the operation, maintenance and troubleshooting of pumps.
- Gain additional knowledge on Inspection and Maintenance of Centrifugal Pumps
- Read and interpret the performance curves of Pumps and provide overview of testing standards/codes.
- Understand Operation, maintenance & Troubleshooting aspects including the Start-up, priming, shut down.
- Conduct effective preventive and predictive maintenance of pumps.
