2.4 contact hours towards CWEA's CSM, EIT, MT certifications
This session includes the following presentations:
NPSHA vs. NPSHR and Effect on Pump Operation Cavitation is one of the leading causes of pump failure as it causes impellers, and casings to erode rapidly and increases vibration that contributes to premature bearing and seal failure. Understanding the contributing factors helps avoid potential pump failures caused by cavitation. Learning Objective(s): After participating in this session, attendees will be able to: • Better understand the contributing factors that proper available suction pressure can have on pump performance. • Describe how piping design can affect pump performance and learn how to avoid potential problems. • Discuss pump curves and how to identify the proper means of selecting a pump to operate without cavitation.
Pumping Systems: Energy Efficiency vs. Operating Efficiency Addressing the current issues of keeping pump stations operational with less maintenance down time requires us to look at how the station is designed and what the proper pump selection should be to meet the demands of each individual application. Provides a comparison of the energy consumption of different impeller designs to the higher cost of maintenance to unplug clogged pumps on a regular basis. Learning Objective(s): After participating in this session, attendees will be able to: • Make more informed decisions about selecting the proper equipment to provide peak performance for a specific pumping application. • Compare the differences between system energy savings and reduced maintenance costs and make selections based on the greater of the two. • Identify critical steps to enhance strategic thinking, innovation and insight.
