Pumps and Pipe Systems - Features and Technology
After participating in this course, you will be able to:
- Apply technical knowledge to evaluate the characteristics of positive displacement and centrifugal pumps.
- Interpret and implement relevant pipe system codes, standards, and best practices for design and operation.
- Analyze the fundamentals of pipe flow, pressure drop, and their implications for system efficiency.
- Execute proper inspection, maintenance, and condition monitoring techniques for pumps and pipe systems.
- Optimize pump and pipe system performance, mitigating common operational challenges.
Description
The operation of pumps and their integration with pipe systems is fundamental to the efficiency and reliability of industrial facilities. Understanding the technical characteristics of positive displacement and centrifugal pumps and how to manage stress control and cavitation prevention is critical to ensuring smooth operations. This course will explore pumps' design, installation, and operational aspects, providing insights into impeller performance, seal integrity, and bearing longevity. Fluid flow behaviour in pipes and strategies to prevent common flow issues will also be thoroughly covered.
Participants will delve into best practices for pipe system management, including hydraulic design, mechanical stress analysis, and pipe support calculations. Through an in-depth study of pump components, participants will enhance their understanding of pump selection criteria, commissioning, and condition monitoring. The importance of routine inspection and maintenance in maintaining system reliability will be highlighted, and case studies and numerical examples will be supported to ensure practical understanding.
By the end of the course, you will be well-prepared to handle the challenges of pump and pipe system maintenance, from identifying cavitation risks to implementing corrective maintenance. This comprehensive approach ensures a holistic understanding of how pumps and pipe systems can be optimized for safety and performance in various industrial applications.
Who Should Attend
This course is designed for mechanical and process engineers, plant operations personnel, and maintenance engineers responsible for the performance and upkeep of pumps and pipe systems. It is also suitable for contractors, inspectors, and technical personnel working in petrochemical, power generation, wastewater treatment, water utilities, pulp and paper, and other related industries.
In addition to those already working directly with these systems, this course offers valuable insights for project managers, reliability engineers, and anyone involved in equipment procurement or systems design who needs a deep understanding of pump and pipe system functionality.
