SUMMARY:Latest Developments in Water Infrastructure Funding Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Both the Administration and Congress agree investment in infrastructure is needed\, but the devil is always in the details\, particularly funding. This webinar will outline developments the water sector needs to prepare for. Involved in these developments is how the first round of projects is proceeding under the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) program\, plus possible changes to WIFIA or the state revolving loan fund programs. We will discuss the Trump Administration’s infrastructure proposals and other future developments we foresee in infrastructure finance. \nThis webinar will help water utility managers and finance officers get a better grasp of the future nature of federal infrastructure finance tools to help them plan their own financing of projects. \nOf critical concern to water utilities is where the lowest-cost finance options for infrastructure projects are to be found. As a result of this webinar\, utility leaders can begin to pursue financing options that make the most sense for their organizations. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nGain understanding of what federally based infrastructure tools are available.\nReach a greater comfort level with the relatively new WIFIA tool.\nAchieve insight into possible changes or additions to the existing finance toolkit.\nBecome better able to make informed decisions on what infrastructure finance tools to pursue. for his or her own utility.\n\nA single registration allows the convenience of individual training from your desktop computer. For multiple participants\, select the Group registration box and add to cart. \nBy registering for this webinar\, you submit your information and email addresses to the sponsors who will use it to communicate with you regarding this event and their services. \nIf you do not wish to receive any emails from our webinar sponsors you may follow the sponsors’ opt out or unsubscribe instructions following receipt of an email from them. You will not be able to opt out prior to receiving an initial email from our webinar sponsors. \nREGISTER NOW!

SUMMARY:Wildfire Impacts on Water Quality and Treatment Webinar
DESCRIPTION:The focus of this webinar is a discussion of impacts that wildfire could have on water quality and treatment. Specific topics include how a wildfire could impact a system’s water quality\, how these changes in water quality (e.g.\, increase in turbidity\, nutrients\, DOC) can translate into operational challenges\, and what steps could be taken to minimize these effects. The webinar will summarize results from three Water Research Foundation projects\, which were funded over the past 3 years and which have examined in detail the effects of wildfire on water treatment and quality. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nRealize the potential effects of wildfire on water quality.\nPrepare to deal with water quality that is impacted by wildfires in a watershed.\nLearn about potential changes that could be effected to enhance a water system’s resilience against wildfires.\n\n\nA single registration allows the convenience of individual training from your desktop computer. For multiple participants\, select the Group registration box and add to cart. \nBy registering for this webinar\, you submit your information and email addresses to the sponsors who will use it to communicate with you regarding this event and their services. \nIf you do not wish to receive any emails from our webinar sponsors you may follow the sponsors’ opt out or unsubscribe instructions following receipt of an email from them.

SUMMARY:Mechanical Seal Fundamentals
DESCRIPTION:This course provides the student with foundational information regarding the purpose of mechanical seals\, how they are constructed\, where they are used\, and what they need to effectively perform in a wide variety of applications.  Mechanical seal issues are discussed in the classroom and then reinforced in the laboratories using actual pumps equipped with instruments to indicate seal chamber pressure and temperature as the pumps are operated at various flow rates by the students themselves. 70% Classroom\, 30% labs. \nSpecific topics include: \n\nPump and mechanical seal basics.\nSeal function (how they work).\nMechanical seal piping plans.\nProper seal installation and removal.\nMechanical seal types and arrangements.\nReading mechanical seal drawings.\nMaterials of construction.\nFluid properties effect on seals.\n\n\n  \nAUDIENCE\nEngineers; rotating equipment specialists; individuals involved in pump sales and service\, and experienced plant maintenance and operational personnel that have a desire to improve their understanding of the many mechanical seal applications in rotating equipment. \nPrice: $2\,300.00

SUMMARY:Train The Trainer Event For Pump Systems Optimization & Assessment
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: THIS TRAINING EVENT IS FOR HI MEMBERS & INDUSTRY PARTNERS ONLY \nDuring this two-day training event\, Participants are presented with the tools and knowledge necessary to train and help pump users operate their pump systems more efficiently. \nThe training outlines system optimization opportunities\, basic pump system interaction\, pump system screening\, pump system performance improvements\, life cycle cost analysis\, and more! \nUpon event completion attendees will become qualified HI Trainers equipped with the skills to identify a broad range of system improvement opportunities\, determine where to focus efforts in their customer’s organization and develop an action plan with financial justification. Participants also receive 11 Professional Development Hours (PDH) credits. \nPump Systems Optimization and Pump System Assessment Course Trainers enable organizations the ability to offer turn-key solutions to help utilities\, engineering consulting firms and pump users save energy and improve uptime and reliability. Tap into additional funds offered by utilities and other government agencies. \nThis course is directed towards motivated\, outward-facing technical people who are willing to roll up their sleeves and provide solutions for their customers. Over the two-day training\, attendees will be instructed on the following topics: \n• Systems optimization and improvement opportunities\n• Basic pump system interaction\n• Screening pump systems\n• Improving the pump systems performance\n• Life cycle costs analysis\n• Developing an action plan\n• How to engage customers in meaningful ways\n• Building credibility with customers\n• Understanding the utility incentive world – know what to ask\n• Understand more about ISO 14414\n• ASME Pump System Energy Assessment Standard\n• Understand ISO5001 for Energy Management Systems \nPlus: Learn the core concepts for Level I\, II and III Pump System Audits as well as the emerging PSAP (Pump Systems Assessment Professional) Master Certification Program. \nThis special PSO/PSA training sharpens participant skills on identifying a broad range of system improvement opportunities\, determining where to focus efforts in their customer’s organization and developing an action plan with financial justification. \nDate(s): June 27th and 28th\, 2018 \nTime: 7:30am – 4:30pm \nInstructor: William Livoti\,Hydraulic Institute Subject Matter Expert \nContact: Mark Sullivan\, msullivan@pumps.org or 973-349-5329 \nPDH Credit: 16 PDH Credits \nPrice: $499.99
