This course provides participants with the knowledge and skills required to understand the basics of pumps and mechanical seals. The course details the components of pumps and mechanical seals, and their functions, how they work together, and what they need to operate reliably in a system. Designed as an on-site course, concepts and theory are […]

This course provides a comprehensive analysis of pump performance and its dependency on operations upstream and downstream from the pump. Students will review pump hydraulics and apply these fundamentals to calculate the reliability of the overall pump system. 60% classroom, 40% labs and team exercises.lowse Specific topics include: Calculating friction head losses. Calculating total dynamic […]

Don’t Miss this Webinar! With rapid digital transformation across end markets such as the oil and gas, chemicals, and power generation industries, there will be an increased focus on reducing downtime cost and time associated with unplanned failure of assets like valves, especially for critical applications. It is imperative for valve OEMs and pure-play service […]

Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to: • Identify different styles of centrifugal pumps and the components within them • Perform safe operating procedures including venting, warm-up, starting, and switching pumps • Properly monitor and adjust bearing lubrication • Understand mechanical seal components and common seal flush plans AUDIENCE A Basics Level […]

Overview: The boom in unconventional oil and gas development presents many challenges to groundwater resources, including water availability and groundwater quality. To provide forums to address these issues, NGWA sponsored workshops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 2014 and in Columbus, Ohio, in 2017 to bring together scientists and practitioners from the groundwater and oil and gas […]

The basic theoretical background to hydraulics in piping systems and system design and analysis is covered, including efficient design. Training makes use of AFT Fathom, AFT Arrow and AFT Impulse (plus add-on modules) as well as hand calculations. A discussion/question/answer format is also employed in order to maximize retention of course material and theoretical concepts. […]

This session will show you how Parallel Sensorless technology for HVAC systems can help reduce energy consumption and installation costs. Presented by David Lee, Vice-Chair of ASHRAE Technical Committee 6.1 - Hydronic and Steam Equipment and Systems. David was also nominated for Empowering Pumps’ Pump Person of the Year in 2017. This presentation will be […]

One of the primary reasons why users have found AFT software to be incredibly user-friendly is in how easy it is to customize the software to your needs with great ease. From this webinar, you will learn how you can customize your modeling preferences, quickly create your own pump curve libraries, fluid/component/ pipe material databases, […]
