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 Mechanical Pumps and Rotating Equipment. It covers the mechanical pumps, rotating equipment basics and types of pumps and their applications; the hydraulics and fluid dynamics in pumps, materials of construction and safety in pump operations; designing and operating centrifugal pumps and the common operational issues; the types and mechanisms of positive displacement pumps including bearings and lubrication systems; the pump efficiency and performance monitoring; and the mechanical seals and packing including piping and system integration. 
During this interactive course, participants will learn the routine maintenance practices, vibration analysis, condition monitoring and troubleshooting common pump issues; the alignment and balancing, failure analysis of pumps, overhauling procedures and testing after rebuilding; the lifecycle management of rotating equipment and energy efficiency and optimization; the advanced diagnostic techniques covering thermography, ultrasonic testing and oil analysis; the asset management systems, environmental considerations and high-pressure pump systems; the cryogenic pumps, magnetic drive pumps and pumps in corrosive environments; the need for upgrades and retrofitting older systems for improved performance; and the ASME and ISO standards and regulatory requirements for pump systems.
