Hands-on Workshop Module: Inspect and Rebuild Between Bearings (BB) and End Suction (OH) pumps with an IMPEL overview

• Overview of design and construction of between bearings (BB) and end suction (OH) pumps
• Hands-on disassembly and assembly of common Balance of Plant (BoP) pumps
• Utilizing a representative BoP training pump, Goulds 3405, we review in depth the design and assembly of simple pumps. This class also acts as a steppingstone to acquaint the learners with the foundation for the high energy pump modules to follow later in the course.

Classroom Module: Pump Inspection and Rebuilding Guidelines and Techniques

• An overview of inspection procedures and practical advice for rebuilding your BoP pumps
