Description

Pump Unit Operation: Fundamentals and Sizing for Processes training course is designed to provide the harmony of theoretical knowledge behind pump basics and practical guidelines for its sizing procedure.During the industrial age, one of the first essential machines was invented. This machine is pumping system. Since then, it continues to evolve with different sizes, types, and application.Pump is a piece of mechanical equipment which moves the liquid from level to high level or moves fluid from the low-pressure area to high-pressure area. It can also be a booster in a piping network system. Moreover, it converts merely transfer liquid from source to destination and circulate fluid around a system. Reports show that pumping system has been the 20 percent of worlds electrical demand and the 25-55 percentage of energy usage in some industries.The training course goes over the following topics, in 16 lectures and 3 practice sessions with 1.5 hours of video training material:Why are Pumps Needed?Pumps General CharacterizationFactors Affecting Pump SelectionCentrifugal Pumps: Essential Components and Performance ParametersPump Head, Head CalculationsShutoff Head and Pump RunoutPump Power RequirementNet Positive Suction Head (NPSH) and Its CalculationPump Performance CurvePump Operational Issues and Possible CausesThe above essential topics have clearly been discussed during the course. This training can be really helpful for students, engineers, and even teachers aiming to deliver the essentials of oil and gas separation design from the engineering point of view. By spending only 1.5 hours, you can really understand the whole topic and further do practical calculations. The course instructor does also provide the service of answering questions for all course participants for free.
