INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW:

Within industry, piping is a system used to convey fluids (liquids and gases) from one location to another. The engineering discipline of piping design studies the efficient transport of fluid. Industrial process piping (and accompanying in-line components) can be manufactured from wood, glass, steel, aluminium, plastic, copper, and concrete.

Pumps have continued to grow in size, speed and energy level, revealing new problems that are being addressed by innovative materials, mechanical and hydraulic design approaches. Environmental pressures have increased, and these can and are being responded to by the creative attention of pump engineers and users. After all, the engineer is trained to solve problems, employing techniques that reflect knowledge of physical phenomena in the world around us.

 

Pumps have their fair share of engineering problems in industry.

The said problems could be classified into:-

-    Problems which could be identified and solved immediately, with little or no financial implications or loss in production and a drop in quality levels;

-    Problems which could be identified and cannot be solved immediately, with little or no knowledge of its implications;

-    Problems which recur frequently and cannot be solved permanently etc;

 

Some of the reasons for these are due to:-

-    Incompetent staff;

-    A vast variety of equipment;

-    Many moving (sliding, reciprocating, rotating) components etc.

 

This course is industry designed, to provide a broad understanding of the improvement methodology, concepts, and process. The methodology is presented with case studies and examples drawn from service, business process and manufacturing applications. The integration of manufacturing and maintenance is also addressed. With a heavy practice orientation, as much as a third of your time will be spent working through interactive practical exercises and assessments. This course is designed as an introduction to concepts and methodology.

 

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

This training program is designed to provide an understanding of engineering related problems related to industry globally and a clear sense of what is required to effectively structure, establish measurements and solve problems. Participants will learn the goals and deliverables behind the solutions. Methodology as well as the most commonly used tools within each phase will be discussed. Participants will also learn how to support a problem solving initiative within their organization.

 

LEARNING OUTCOME:

On successful completion of this course, the participant should be able to:-

-    Understand the benefits and implications of pumps and piping, and relate the concepts to the overall business mission and objectives.

-    Think about his/her organization as a collection of processes, with inputs that determine the output.

-    Recognize the engineering problem solving model used to improve processes.

-    Recognize the organizational factors that are necessary groundwork for a successful engineering problem solving program.

-    Integrate the engineering problem solving program effort with other process improvement initiatives.

-    Learn the various types of centrifugal pumps and piping types, their functions and terminologies used;

-    Understand the design methodologies for centrifugal pumps and piping;

-    Understand the various maintenance methods for centrifugal pumps and piping; and

-    Understand the application of centrifugal pumps and the various types of piping in various industries.

 

TRAINING METHODOLOGY:

-    The latest educational methods and strategies will be utilized.

-    The course is designed to maximize delegate participation.

-    Questions and answers are encouraged throughout and at the daily wrap-up sessions. This gives participants the opportunity to discuss with others and the presenter their specific problems and appropriate solutions.

-    The course shall be conducted through lectures, case studies, group discussions and exercises to reinforce participant’s learning.

 

MEASUREMENT TOOLS:

Quiz, exercises and a test at the end of second day.

 

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:

Facilities engineers, maintenance engineers, design engineers and any one who would like to widen their knowledge on the theory of pumps.
