Pumping Fundamentals

Pumps are the largest consumer of global motive power and pumping system improvements can deliver up to 40% reduction in energy costs. The CPSA scheme is an industry specific professional qualification developed by the BPMA. The object of the scheme is to help improve the levels of professionalism in the sector by creating a universally recognised and respected industry “standard” for individuals assessing the performance of a pumping system.

This course is suitable for anyone who manages or is involved with any of the following, designing, specifying, selling, sourcing, installing, servicing and maintaining pumping equipment. The following topics will, among others, be covered, Maths & Physics Refreshers, Liquid Flow, Inlet & Outlet Features, Rotodynamic Pumps.

This course is designed to introduce the subject of centrifugal pump hydraulic design to individuals who have a general technical background in pump engineering and for whom increased knowledge of the basis of pump hydraulic design and performance achievement would improve their contribution to pump engineering. Trainee hydraulic design engineers may also benefit.

This course provides standardised terminology, and a basic approach to the various pump types. It is targeted at all those who need to know the language of the pump industry. This qualification recognises basic knowledge and the ability to apply learning with guidance or supervision.

This course considers the implications of repair and replacing a part with a partial or complete overhaul. The importance of building in a scheduled or preventative maintenance routine that will help prolong the life of a system and help to eliminate costly downtime problems.

This one-day course is designed to enable individuals with general engineering or commercial backgrounds to gain an understanding of the principles associated with the selection of pumping equipment. It provides a foundation of understanding the issues that need to be considered when selecting a pump and follows on from Pumping Fundamentals. A series of presentations and exercises will be used to illustrate the principles underlying the process in the most practical way possible.

This one-day course is designed to enable individuals to enhance their knowledge and understanding of the factors that have to be considered in the design of pump systems. Using presentations and exercises the course takes a practical approach to what is a complex subject. Delegates will have the opportunity to complete a straightforward assessment dealing with the principles covered during the day.
