Pumping Systems and Controls Training

 

Pumping Systems & Controls Training

March 14 & 15, 2018
Doubletree Rosemont – O’Hare, Chicago, IL

 

SWPA is hosting a 2-day training session that combines their two highly successful training programs into one comprehensive course. Day 1 will be a general session for all attendees, and Day 2 will break out into two separate tracks: Pumping Systems Training and Controls Training. The Pumping Systems Training seminar teaches “the systems approach” to lift station design, operation and maintenance, while the Controls Training seminar guides participants through the rapidly changing world of pump station controls and control considerations.

The Keynote Presentation

The Keynote presentation will be focused on “The Systems Approach to Lift Station Design, Construction, Operation and Maintenance” and will describe in detail how taking a systems approach can benefit design engineers, specifiers, manufacturers, distributors, sales reps, contractors, and end users. The session will also explain Life Cycle Costing (LCC), energy conservation, and related topics as they impact “The Systems Approach.”

The Keynote Speaker will be Ernest C. Sturtz, P.E., BCEE, Associate, CDMSmith, and industry veteran with over 30 years of experience in the design, implementation, and troubleshooting of water and wastewater pumping station products.
