Calculation and Selection of Centrifugal Pumps Course

Objectives:

The objectives of the course Calculation and Selection of Centrifugal Pumps are as follows:

1. Fundamentals of Pump: Having learned the power of centrifugal pumps, it is going to definitely provide depth in their operation, principles, and main components.

2. Pump Performance: The analysis of pump curves and performance data will enable attendees to judge pump efficiency and applicability for different applications.

3. Criteria for Selection: It should teach bases of selection for the appropriate centrifugal pump according to the factors like flow, pressure requirement, and characteristics of the system.

4. System Head Calculation: It would prepare attendees for carrying out calculation of a total dynamic head TDH of the pump systems, putting into consideration losses of all kinds-friction, elevation and velocity.

5. Energy efficiency: The importance of energy efficiency in the selection of pumps and the ways for optimising the consumption of energy have been described.

6. Troubleshooting and Maintenance: Attendees will develop the knowledge to troubleshoot and perform all common service requirements for extending the life and performance of pumps.

1. Engineers and technicians for design, operation, and maintenance of pump systems are of key relevance.

2. Water treatment, oil and gas, power generation and chemical processing engineers: Interested people from any of these fields would also be involved. 

3. Project managers and decision-makers who select and implement pump systems are also referred to as stakeholders of the system. 

4. People who want to get more understanding about centrifugal pump calculations and selection for industrial applications.
