COURSE OBJECTIVE

This course will introduce to delegates the different types of pumps and valves and their associated terminology centrifugal and positive displacement pumps, packing, mechanical seals and sealing system, bearings and couplings will be discussed. valves for isolation and valves for control will be addressed. Application of different types of pump and valves will be discussed along with their suitability for different operational duties, operation, troubleshooting and maintenance will be dealt within depth.
