Webinar: Understanding Pump Failure Modes with Real World Case Studies

In December’s webinar, instructor John Neely discusses common pump failure modes, sharing real-world case studies and insights on identifying key issues during equipment health reviews, with lessons learned from as-found conditions and site-specific challenges.

Webinar: Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH)

In November’s webinar, instructor Bob Jennings helps you understand atmospheric pressure, the physics of fluids, vapor pressure, cavitation, how to calculate NPSH, and the different methods that can be used to eliminate or reduce cavitation.

Webinar: Understanding Mechanical Seals

In October’s webinar, instructor Norbert Gentz of EagleBurgmann will reveal the mechanics, physics, and even a bit of the “magic” behind mechanical seals. It will shed light on how mechanical seals operate, highlight potential causes of failure, and explore what can be done to improve their operational reliability.

Webinar: Improving the Energy Efficiency, Reliability and Profitability of Pumping Systems through Pump System Optimization

In September’s webinar, instructor Matt Derner from the Hydraulic Institute builds on fundamental principles to examine the economics of pumping systems and the strategies to assess and optimize these systems. This presentation covers a critical skill set that is required to analyze and optimizing pumping systems by reducing energy and maintenance costs. This presentation provides immersive coverage of pump system economics, optimization based on life cycle cost, and standardized processes to assess and improve pumping systems.
