Course Description
Pumps of various designs and applications, are encountered throughout petrochemical and process industries. Pumping systems sometimes have to provide efficient transport of complex and difficult fluids. This course will provide an overview of technical aspects of pumps and pumping systems as encountered in industrial applications. Of special interest will be centrifugal pumps as well as other types of positive displacement pumps
The pumps and pumping systems course will concentrate on thorough understanding of technical principles of fluid flow in pumping systems as a prerequisite for successful pump installation and operation. The focus will be on the potential problems in operation and will include pump inspection and condition monitoring. The course will also include various examples selected from real-life technical practice that will be solved and discussed in order to illustrate methods of efficient operation and maintenance of pumping systems.
