Course Description
Network Pumping Stations are plants which transfer the collected sewage from sewers to Sewage Treatment Plants. These pumping stations are commonly referred to as Network Pump Stations (NPS). This course is designed to provide an understanding on how things work from the collected sewage until the treatment process which travels throughout the pump systems.
Reliable and well-designed water pumping facilities are essential for cities and sewerage systems across countries. This 5-day course will provide you with valuable techniques and knowledge that you can apply immediately in your own systems and projects.
Course Objectives
- Manage, design, and operate reliable and cost-effective pumping facilities and forcemains
- Evaluate pros and cons of different station designs
- Prevent hydraulic problems in pumps, wet wells, and forcemains
- Improve station reliability
- Understand electric motors and VFDs
- Carryout basic maintenance and troubleshooting
- Reduce problems in operation and maintenance
- Select optimum pumping equipment, valves, and piping systems
- Reduce your pumping energy costs
- Upgrade and rehab your pumping stations for the future
- follow good health and safety practices
