SUMMARY:FSA Technical Short Courses
DESCRIPTION:These courses are being held at the Fugitive Emissions Summit. Courses #1 and #2 will be held concurrently in the morning. Courses #3 and #4 will be held concurrently in the afternoon. Registration for the day is $499 per person. Go to http://www.fluidsealing.com/short-course-registration-form/ to register. \n#1- Flange Sealing Installation Best Practices \nFlange leakage in emissions service can result in loss production and money. If a plant is going to reduce emissions at a plant\, one important step that is often overlooked is procedures of flange sealing. This training will focus on the Fluid Sealing Association’s best practices for successful flange sealing including gasket seating stresses\, torque calculations\, and gasket selection. Some other topics that will be discussed are the following: Flange and bolts inspection\, Flange Condition\, Torque patterns\, Anti-seize and K factor\, Alignment\, Flange Rotation\, Heat Exchangers\, Nut Embedment. Instructors: Ron Frisard\, AW Chesterton Co. and Laverne Fernandes\, Garlock Sealing Technologies. \n#2 – Mechanical Seals 101 \nThis course is aimed at rotating equipment professionals who would like to understand mechanical seals\, their different support systems\, and basic mechanical seal component failure analysis. The course will consist of an introduction to mechanical seals that will focus on mechanical seal operating principles and classifications. Further discussion will focus on the different seal support designs (piping plans) and their role in mechanical seal health and reliability. The course will finish with a review of basic mechanical seal component failures and their common causes. Upon completion of the course\, attendees will have a basic understanding of how mechanical seals work and what is needed to operate them reliably. Instructor: Glenn Owens\, Flowsesrve. \n#3 – Valve Installation Best Practices for Fugitive Emissions Service \nThis training will focus on identifying best practices in regards to valve packing installation as outlined by the Fluid Sealing Association. The best valve packing installed incorrectly will not ensure compliance to LDAR requirements. It is imperative that a plant have a serious\, focused\, approach to this important subject. One way to improve this is by creating a continuous improvement process regarding valve packing that is fact based and focusing on Identifying and classifying root causes of packing performance. Some of the points that the training will include: Accurate measuring of valve dimensions\, Observing valve issues that could hinder sealing\, Installation of packing\, Torque and bolting considerations for Low E sealing\, Consolidation of packing\, Multi-discipline continuous improvement program focusing on root causes of packing failures. Instructors: Ron Frisard\, AW Chesterton Co. and Rob Garlock\, EGC Enterprises. \n#4 – Rubber Expansion Joints: Basic Applications to Advanced Solutions \nPump piping engineers demand optimal piping systems with a smaller footprint\, lower construction cost\, improved energy efficiency\, modular construction and with less structural support. Rubber Expansion Joints help meet these requirements by reducing the need for cumbersome main anchors\, numerous guides and/or rigid piping loops. Featuring low stiffness and high movement\, expansion joints accept damaging pipe stresses such as pipe strain\, thermal expansion\, shock and vibration loads\, ground settlement and external displacement forces. With a rugged construction\, cycle life in the tens of millions and superior chemical and abrasion resistance\, rubber expansion joints help also to improve piping system uptime and reliability. This two-part presentation focuses on the design\, selection and application of rubber expansion joints\, including restrained and unrestrained arrangements. Content focuses on using rubber expansion joints as part of best piping practices\, pumping system optimization\, and plant reliability and efficiency improvements. The webinar will also discuss how to take a FMEA approach for improvement assessment of failure modes and conducting plant surveys to virtually eliminate unplanned downtime. \nPart I: Features and benefits of performance rubber expansion joints\, Applying restrained and unrestrained expansion joint arrangements effectively\, Identifying sources of damaging pipe stresses and consequences of neglecting them\, Optimizing systems with footprint and energy consumption reductions\, Minimizing loads on piping\, equipment and support structure\, Reducing material and construction costs\, Key elements of piping codes (ex. ASME B31.1\, B31.3) and standards (ex. ANSI/HI 9.6.2\, 9.6.6) for seamless integration. \nPart II: Developing a plant reliability and efficiency program\, Incorporating a condition-based preventive maintenance program\, Taking an FMEA approach with improved assessment of failure modes\, Conducting plant surveys with traditional and advanced inspection methods\, Resources including: data sheets\, guideline specifications\, application demos\, solid model images\, installation instructions\, case studies and more. \nThe presentation is ideal for industry professionals involved with designing or specifying pump piping systems or responsible for maintaining or selecting rubber expansion joints.

SUMMARY:Pump and Mechanical Seal Reliability
DESCRIPTION:This course provides the participant a better understanding of the reliability issues related to the interrelated functions of the centrifugal pump and mechanical seal\, as they are operated in a complex pumping system under a variety of conditions. Participants learn how to identify and address causes of poor pump and mechanical seal reliability by focusing on mechanical and operational issues that can negatively affect pump and seal performance.\nBasic pump and mechanical seal issues are discussed in the classroom\, and then reinforced in the laboratories using actual pumps equipped with instruments to indicate flow\, pressure\, temperature\, and power consumption. The pumps are operated by the students themselves. 60% classroom\, 40% labs. \nSpecific topics include: \n\nReview of centrifugal pump basics\nPump operating conditions that affect both pump and seal reliably\nMechanical issues that affect pump and seal reliability\nTroubleshooting centrifugal pump failures\nThe effects of the various types of cavitation in a mechanically sealed pump.\nThe importance of proper clearances in a centrifugal pump.\nReview of mechanical seal basics\nMechanical seal installation\, commissioning and operation\nDetailed steps to mechanical seal troubleshooting\nSeal failure case studies\n\n\n  \nAUDIENCE\nThis course builds upon level 1 pump and mechanical seal courses. Experienced operations and maintenance personnel and engineers with at least 1 or more years of field experience are preferred.

SUMMARY:Centrifugal Pump Fundamentals
DESCRIPTION:This course provides the student with a thorough understanding of centrifugal pump design\, function and operation. Common process control and performance measurement methods are reviewed\, and the necessary calculations associated with pumping systems are executed and explained. \nCentrifugal pump issues are discussed in the classroom and then reinforced in the laboratories using actual pumps equipped with instruments that indicate flow\, pressure and power consumption as the pumps are operated by the students themselves. 65% classroom\, 35% laboratory. \nSpecific topics include: \n\nPump components and nomenclature.\nPD pumps vs. Centrifugal pumps.\nCentrifugal pump types.\nSystem hydraulics\nCentrifugal pump curves.\nAffinity Laws.\nNPSH and types of cavitation.\nViscosity impact on performance.\nPower\nSpecific Speed\nSuction specific speed.\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 centrifugal pumps and their proper operation.
