Course Content
PUMPING PREREQUISITES
-
Duration : 0.5 Day
Pump performance:
Hydraulic pumping fundamentals.
Pressure, flowrate, specific gravity, friction losses, centrifugal force, height/pressure relation, mechanic and hydraulic power, vapor pressure curve, energy conservation.
Pump choice and typical upstream implementations.
TECHNOLOGY & PERFORMANCE
-
Duration : 2 Days
Centrifugal pumps:
Functional approach: study step by step of the main functions; process (impeller, wear rings, balancing, pump body shape…); sealing: mechanical sealing, typical arrangements (single, dual, dry seal), selection according API 382 standard, materials, type, friction face heating; support (axial and radial, thrust and journal bearings); lubrication (oil and grease…); monitoring (rotor displacement, vibrations, temperature, pressure…).
Building step by step a monocellular centrifugal pump.
Volumetric pumps:
Different types of pumps: rotary and reciprocating pumps.
Operating principle and utilization of the different types of pumps.
Influence of clearance, internal leaks, nature of product on flow rate and pressure.
Flow rate control.
Installation guidelines: position of tanks, line diameters, metering drums, pulsation dampeners, pressure valves.
Start-up/shutdown: priming, controls, hammer shock, risks for process and pump.
Surveillance: parameters (vibration levels, noises, bearing housing temperature, motor intensity, pressures); impact of stream parameters; hazards.
Parallel and series operations: risks, dysfunction.
TROUBLESHOOTING
-
Duration : 0.75 Day
Troubleshooting of most frequent problems (cavitation, priming situation, low flowrate…).
SAFETY IN OPERATION
-
Duration : 0.25 Day
Leaks, vibrations, feed, overcharge…
Analysis of industrial incidents and accidents.
