SUMMARY:Cavitation Modeling with AFT Impulse
DESCRIPTION:The presence of cavitation during a waterhammer event makes it very difficult to interpret results correctly. This is because the evaluation of cavitating behavior is very much a grey area where black and white answers do not exist. Come join us in this webinar to learn the tips and tricks of how to use AFT Impulse properly in order to effectively understand and evaluate your cavitating results. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Dry Gas Seal Seminar (1-Day)
DESCRIPTION:This seminar introduces principles of dry gas seals and seal support systems for centrifugal compressors and rotating equipment. Topics include an Overview of the History of Gas Seals\, Principles of Operation\, Seal Arrangements & Types\, and Troubleshooting. \n\nLearning Objectives \nThis training course is intended to introduce the design and application of dry gas seals to end-user/OEM/contractor personnel working with turbomachinery such as centrifugal compressors used in process industries. \nKey objectives of the course include: \n\nRecall of the fundamental principles of dry gas seals and support systems used in turbomachinery\nDescribe dry gas seal capabilities (static and dynamic)\nExplain critical design and installation considerations\nReview of materials and constructions\nIdentify and describe control system design and functionality\nClassify typical failure modes for a dry gas seal\n\n\n\nIntended Audience (Industry/Role) \nThis course is directly relevant to those working in process plants using turbomachinery rotating equipment fitted with dry gas seals and associated support equipment — particularly including industries such as oil and gas\, petrochemical and power generation. \nThe course is aimed at end-user plant personnel responsible for the installation\, operation\, maintenance and reliability of turbomachinery\, including those working in management\, engineering\, operations and technician roles. \nThe course is also relevant to those working in rotating equipment OEMs and as process plant contractors. \nDates and Registration \nView Dates\, Location\, Price and Registration Here

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\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.
