This training course offers 4 days of in-person instruction on Pump System Fundamentals (Day 1 & Day 2), Pump System Optimization and Assessment Course (Day 3) and PSAP Certification Exam Prep (Day 4). It also includes the PSAP certification exam. This course is designed to educate and train pump engineers, technical sales, pump system owners, designers, and operators on the fundamentals of pump and system design, including system hydraulics and calculations, pump and system curves, system components, factors affecting reliably and energy consumption, and control.

Attendees of this training will learn the components of the system curve, how to calculate the system curve, the pump curve and how to use it with the system curve to determine the operating point(s). How to control or change the operating point will be covered including methods to change the pump and system curve as well as multiple pump operation.

This training covers the determination of the efficiency and the power required by the system, pump or bowl assembly, driver, and controls.

Attendees will learn how to identify centrifugal, mixed and axial flow pumps, the important hydraulic components such as the casing and impeller types, and the typical construction.

The proper selection of positive displacement (PD) and rotodynamic (RD) pumps involves many considerations and relies on established industry guidance, standards and experience.

This training provides the fundamental knowledge needed to use and apply induction motors successfully.

This training provides the fundamentals needed to use and apply variable frequency drives.

This training provides the attendees an understanding of mechanical seal construction, types and the operating principles.

This training provides attendees an understanding of pump coupling types, important design and application considerations, and considerations for selection. Anyone that is interested in improving the reliability of their pumps should attend this session to understand the fundamentals of couplings.

This training provides attendees an understanding of rolling element bearing types, important design and application considerations, lubrication requirements and effects on reliability, standard fits and mounting considerations. Anyone that is interested in improving the reliability of bearings in their pumps and motors should attend this session.

Attendees of this training provides fundamentals on variable speed pumping and the drives used to vary the speed of the pump. In addition, attendees will get a refresher on the pump and system curves, how they affect the operating point and methods of controlling the system pressure or flowrate.

Attendees of this training will learn the components of the system curve, how to calculate the system curve, the pump curve and how to use it with the system curve to determine the operating point(s).
