Centrifugal pumps are widely used in various industries and buildings while consuming significant amount of energy. The efficiency of a pump and the system it serves directly impacts its energy consumption. Improving pump system efficiency can lead to substantial energy savings, making it an important consideration for businesses aiming to reduce energy usage and improve sustainability.

Pump systems often account for a significant portion of operational expenses in industries such as water treatment, oil and gas, and manufacturing. By maximizing pump efficiency, organizations can reduce energy consumption, resulting in lower utility bills and decreased maintenance costs over time.

The training seeks to prepare learners to handle pump systems with confidence and precision, ensuring optimal performance and reliability, with knowledge to select correct pumps for specific applications, pump operations, maintenance, and troubleshooting. Furthermore, participants will develop deeper and specific pump problem-solving abilities through case studies on pump performance analytics, diagnostics and effective solutions implementation.

Objectives

At the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the performance characteristics of pumping systems
• Gain an enhanced understanding of a systems versus component approach to optimise the energy efficiency of pumping systems
• Identify performance problems and systems that are most likely to yield energy efficiency savings
• Develop an action plan to achieve energy efficiency improvements
• Integrate continuous energy improvement into the management of pumping systems
