PUMP AND SEAL SYSTEM SPECIALIST

DESCRIPTION

This course will give participants a better understanding of the inter-related functions of the centrifugal pump, mechanical seal and complete pumping system. Participants will learn how to find and efficiently address root causes of poor reliability. This, combined with cost/benefit analysis, will return training, repair and modification investments and add to plant profitability.

OBJECTIVE

• Describe breakdown of most common pump failures by component
• Identify and describe a wide variety of pump failures and their causes
• Identify and describe a wide variety of mechanical seal failures and their causes
• Identify and describe preventative, predictive, and proactive pumping system practices
• Perform basic pump system troubleshooting
• Identify and describe solutions to bad actor pump systems
• Perform a field test to create a four point pump performance curve
• Perform a field test to establish the Net Positive Suction Head of a pump
• Identify and describe the world renowned 10 Pumping System Principles
• Identify and describe common seal face materials
• Describe effects of seal balancing
• Describe advantages and limitations of metallic and non-metallic materials including pump, mechanical seal, and elastomeric material
