Why some U.S. plants routinely achieve in excess of 8 years pump mean time between failures and others struggle to reach 2 years.
Why You Should Attend
This course explains just how and why the best-of-class pump users are consistently achieving superior run lengths, low maintenance expenditures, and unexcelled safety and reliability. It is taught by practicing engineers whose combined working career includes extensive involvement in pump specification, installation, reliability assessment, component upgrading, maintenance cost reduction, operation, troubleshooting and all conceivable facets of pumping technology. The course conveys, in detail, what facilities must do to rapidly accomplish best-of-class performance and low life cycle cost. Simply put, the course explains what exactly needs to be done if a facility wants to progress from being a one, two or three year pump MTBF plant, and wishes to join the leading money-making facilities that today achieve a demonstrated pump MTBF of 8.6 years. Implementing what this course explains will allow a plant to move from yesterday's demonstrably unprofitable and costly repair focus to tomorrow's absolutely necessary reliability focus.
Who Should Attend
It is intended for every job function that comes in contact with process pumps and has an interest in achieving best-of-class pump life and performance: operating technicians, maintenance professionals, project engineers, reliability engineers, managers and others.
No one industry is left out from reaping the benefits of this course. Utilities, Power Generation Facilities, Pulp and Paper Plants, Consumer Product Manufacturers, Pharmaceutical Plants, Mining Operators, Chemical and Petrochemical Plants, Municipal Works, Oil and Gas Pipelines and Oil Refineries are among those that will want to profit from implementing the selection guidelines, procurement techniques, completely new installation routines, systematic component upgrade measures, cost saving maintenance hints, structured work processes, results-getting failure analysis and troubleshooting approaches, systematic root cause failure elimination steps, and life-extending pump operating methods described in this unique, totally experience-based course.
