1 Pump Centre, Arcadis, 5th floor, Faraday Street, Birchwood Park, Warrington, WA3 6GA Pump Centre Training Courses Pumps and Pumping Systems - introduction , Intermediate & Advanced This 3 day course will comprise introduction , Intermediate and Advanced days. The course is intended to provide those who are required to design Pumping stations, approve designs submitted by others or advise on possible improvements to existing Systems with the skills they need. The course will include presentations and practical exercises to enable participants to understand the factors affecting design of efficient Pumping Systems and provide them with the techniques required. The introduction course will enable participants to understand the basics of fluids and Pumping Systems . The Intermediate course will deal with more advanced fluids principles, pump curves, an introduction to the Pumping Station Design Guide and basic fault finding. The Advanced course will cover topics such as designing Pumping Systems , sump design, cavitation, series & parallel Pumping and variable speed Pumping .

2 OBJECTIVES PROGRAMME WHO SHOULD ATTEND Understand how fluid properties affect pump selection and performance Become familiar with the characteristics and construction of Centrifugal & Positive Displacement Pumps and how to get the best out of them. Learn how to design Pumping Systems and produce system curves. Understand the interaction between pump and system including sump design and cavitation. Understand how to design series, parallel and variable speed installations. The material will be presented by means of a series of lectures and demonstrations, with each topic being reinforced by practical exercises The final session will include a presentation on the optimisation of Pumping stations. Engineers who need to design Pumping Systems , whether as part of their daily work, or only occasionally. Engineers, and others, who are called upon to assess designs submitted for approval. No prior Pumping knowledge will be assumed, but those wishing to attend only the Intermediate or Advanced days must have a thorough knowledge and understanding of the subject matter covered in the previous day(s) courses.
