Training Program Overview: 

This training curriculum is designed to provide participants fundamental knowledge on all aspects of the system, pump, and components. From calculating system head to factors that affect reliability, pump selection and everything in between, attendees will leave with knowledge they need to perform their job more effectively. The curriculum is laid out in a logical progression of topics starting with system hydraulics and power consumption and then transitioning to the pumps, their operation, impact on reliability and proper pump selection. It then transitions to the important components in or used with pumps such as bearings, couplings, motors and variable frequency drives. Any technical employees in the fluid handling industry will benefit from this training.
