VENUE          : Swiss Belinn Malang

DURATION  :  1- 3 days

Course Introduction:

In selecting a process pump, especially for the petroleum and petrochemical industries one must look beyond the immediate need of merely satisfying the stated process parameter requirements. The unit, pump and driver, has to be fully integrated in the process system. Over its entire life cycle the unit has to provide a reliable and economic service, in safety, with full respect to the environmental protection, operability, maintainability and plant availability requirements with specific reference to the local requirements and prevailing conditions. The tendency to ensure that the normal operating conditions are satisfied and to neglect abnormal, emergency start up and shut down conditions can give rise to unwelcome, even on occasions, critical situations. Success in optimizing the selection requires the application of the correct engineering concepts in conjunction with the full understanding of practical requirements and implications. These five days course covers process pump design, pump technology and characteristics, malfunction, specification and selection.
