Course description

Course Objectives

The Pumps and Pumping Systems course will enable delegates to:

have a comprehensive knowledge of pumping technology, principles and design
gain a thorough understanding of interactions between equipment and the effects of operation
confidently carry out a systemic hydraulic analysis of a simple pumping system
specify and select the most appropriate pump for a given application.

Course Topics

System analysis: steady and transient analysis of simple network and bulk transfer pipelines
Pump principles and design: rotodynamic and positive displacement machines
Pump operation: steady state pump and system matching, flow control
Pump selection, testing and Standards
Drives: electric motor, turbine and other drives, matching drives to pumps
Flow control valves: principles, selection and sizing
Case studies: pump intake, bulk transfer system
Demonstration of system analysis software
Demonstration of pump performance and operation in laboratory.

Who should attend?

The course will be of particular interest to engineers employed in the process industries (including oil and gas, water and power) who are involved in pump system design, pump and equipment selection,. It will also benefit those who work in operation and maintenance of pumping systems. Those with an engineering or applied science degree will receive the most benefit from the course or those with relevant industrial experience.

Course Delivery

The Pumps and Pumping Systems course is run over 4.5 days and includes lectures, laboratory demonstrations and group discussions.
