Pumps and Pumping

 


Who Should Attend

Pumps and Pumping is ideal for water and wastewater utility operation and maintenance workers and anyone else interested in improving their knowledge of the principles of pump operation and maintenance.

Workshop Description

Pumps are the heart of water and wastewater systems. This practical 3-day workshop takes the mystery out of hard-to-understand pump theory. Attendees will learn how pumps work, how pumps are used, the essential parts of all pumping systems, and to understand pump terminology. They will analyze the purpose and functions of key pump components; learn how to recognize, troubleshoot and correct faulty conditions; and review procedures for replacing important pump components. They will practice reading pump curves and will review and apply principles of hydraulics and hydrostatics to understand what makes up a pump’s total discharge head requirement.
