Course Description
Pumps and compressors are essential components in almost all industries in that they are required to meet system demands and operate reliably. Further, since they can consume approximately 30% of a plant’s total energy use, efficient operation is essential. Pumps and compressors therefore need to be cost efficient and reliable. This course provides understanding of the operation and maintenance of various types of rotary and reciprocating pumps and compressors.
