SUMMARY:Modeling Pump Transients With Reverse Flow
DESCRIPTION:Refurbishing large non-return valves should reduce risk\, not create it. But change the closing time on a 72-inch valve and you can aggravate reverse pump rotation\, raising the risk of excessive shaft torque\, valve torque\, and motor overcurrent\, potentially taking out every pump and forcing a multi-week plant shutdown. \nThat is exactly what Sasol faced during a valve refurbishment project on a petrochemical cooling water system: five pumps\, 100\,000 m3/h (440\,000 gpm) of flow\, and a narrow window between too fast and too slow. \nJoin Datacor (formerly Applied Flow Technology) for a live webinar hosted by Trey Walters\, Principal\, R&D at Datacor\, and Nelius Joubert\, Principal Process Engineer at Sasol. You will see how transient hydraulic modeling identified the safe operating range and protected the system from reverse rotation\, overcurrent trips\, and water hammer\, plus practical\, field-tested guidance on how to model pump transients with reverse flow in your own systems. \nWhat You Will Learn: \n\nHow four-quadrant pump modeling captures reverse flow and reverse rotation during pump trips\nWhy valve closure timing has a narrow safe range\, and what happens outside it\nHow simulation validated a 6-12 second closure window using real field data\nWhich transient pump model is preferred in different situations\nBest practices for modeling pump transients with reverse flow\n\nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Take Your Vertical Pump Expertise to the Next Level
DESCRIPTION:You know how vital pump reliability is to your plant’s success. While technical lectures give you the foundation\, true confidence happens when you connect that theory with practical experience. \nHydro’s Vertical Pump Fundamentals seminar is built around how you learn best—combining interactive classroom learning with direct\, hands-on workshop application. \nHow You Benefit\n\nYou build hands-on experience. Work directly with full-size vertical turbine equipment under the guidance of expert field service advisors.\nYou master practical techniques. Learn precision alignment methods\, inspection shortcuts\, and practical steps to fix your facility’s “bad actors”.\nYou solve real plant issues. Bring your specific operational challenges to small-group discussions and leave with immediate\, practical answers.\n\nBuilt for You\nWhether you’re an engineer\, operator\, or maintenance professional\, this two-day deep dive gives you tools you can use on the job right away. You’ll also earn valuable CEU/PDH credits while connecting with industry peers. \nGive your pumps and your success a boost! \nSeminar Details \n\nWhen: September 9 (8 AM–5 PM) & September 10 (8 AM–3 PM)\nWhere: HydroAire | 1126 West 40th Street\, Chicago\, IL\nIncludes: Full course materials\, certificate\, and complimentary breakfast & lunch daily (Group rates available)\n\nReady to sharpen your skills?
