Your Expert Trainer
He has become the go-to authority for engineering executives, CEOs, directors, and engineers seeking to synchronize people, processes, and systems. He is a Master Facilitator and Subject Matter..
Program Overview
The 5-Day Pump Practitioner Masterclass consists of a 4 day in-depth training program on Pump Operation, Maintenance, Performance, Reliability, Troubleshooting, Selection & Efficiency followed by a final day of Practical Exercises & Examination on the subject matter. It has been specially researched and developed for pumps engineers & professionals in the oil and gas, petrochemicals, refineries, hydrocarbon and chemical processing, power generation, water resources, mining & minerals, general processing & industrial manufacturing industries to learn best practices and techniques of optimizing the performance, reliability, operations, maintenance & efficiency of pumps and relevant piping systems on a daily basis.
The masterclass will provide case studies and cover issues in-detail, including factors affecting pump performance, pump selection, fluid selection, pump hydraulics, various types of services and drives, pump mechanical construction, pump condition monitoring & maintenance, managing pump vibration issues and the failure of seals and bearings, and the latest standards in pumps. Also, it will look at proven strategies of the design, set-up, management & maintenance of pumps to improve energy efficiency and reduce costs.
As with all Equip Global Courses, the emphasis is very much on the practical and interactive exercises and real-life case studies. In addition to presentations of the subjects, participants will be challenged in actual case studies to apply the principles discussed. It will also encourage the attendees to develop the tools to implement change upon returning to their work place. By identifying how to separate symptoms from problems, you will learn how to reduce operating and maintenance costs by increasing the reliability, efficiency and performance of your pumps!
