If you are unable to attend any of the sessions a recording will be made available.

Description

The purpose of this course is to:

Introduce the advance pump design features of high-pressure multistage pumps which are important for its reliable performance,
Ensure that proper site conditions are ensured during operation of the pumps. Multistage high-pressure pumps are mostly high energy pumps and therefore very sensitive to site operating conditions.
Emphasize the role of rotor dynamics on the life of the equipment,
Provide proper insight into the failure modes so that proper measures are taken to circumvent premature failure.

Objective

The course objective is to:

Salient design features and the design logic,
Pump selection criteria for different applications,
Advanced concepts with practical implications related to rotor dynamics, and
Operation and condition monitoring strategies.

Target Audience

Engineers, supervisors, other professionals in general industry including energy, Oil and Gas and building service sectors using pumps and pumping systems and related to:

Facility / Utility Engineers,
Operation team members,
High pressure pump operators,
Maintenance and troubleshooting personnel,
Members of Condition Monitoring & Reliability teams.

Level of Course

This is an advanced level course and requires engineering knowledge, engineering acumen and engineering hands-on experience. It is recommended that the participants should have an introductory knowledge of basics of hydraulics, mechanical vibrations and mechanical system behavior and system dynamics.

Learning Objectives

The prime objective of this course is to educate the participants on the failure modes so that these can be avoided in operations at site. This course comprises information collected from different sources including international papers and journals, conferences, and presentations in special symposiums. Multistage pump failures are expansive and highly undesirable. Yet they happen every once in a while. To understand the root cause of failure it is important to understand the rotor dynamics, and from there onwards the failure can be predicted ahead of time to prevent collateral damage and consequential loss.

After you attend this course/workshop, you will be able to:

Understand the working of multistage high-pressure pumps at site,

Recognize the salient design features of multi-stage high-pressure high-energy pumps,
Recognize the impact of bearing design, internal clearances, seals, and balancing drum etc., on the damping and stiffness of the rotor,
Select proper specifications for a given application in the light of the knowledge given in this course,
Identify the best practices and gaps in the current operations and maintenance program,
Review and update the Condition Monitoring program if already in place or introduce a new one.

Material(s) Required

Laptops will help in solving the exercises given in this course
