Practical Pumps and Compressors: Control, Operation, Maintenance & Troubleshooting
Details
The Pumps and Compressor workshop is a comprehensive course focussing on the fundamentals of centrifugal pumps and compressors. You will have an opportunity to discuss Pump/Compressor construction, design-applications, operations, maintenance and management issues and be provided with the most up-to-date information and best practice in dealing with the subject. Towards the end of the workshop, you will have developed the skills and ability to recognise and solve simple pump/compressor problems in a structured and confident manner.
