Flowserve Pump Maintenance and Troubleshooting

This course provides deep and advanced knowledge needed to cover installation, operation, maintenance and troubleshooting situations for Flowserve pumps. Likely participants are all personnel who operate, manage, or are involved in, designing, specifying, selling, sourcing, installing, servicing and maintaining Flowserve pumping equipment. The course qualification recognizes the ability to gain and – where relevant – apply a range of advanced knowledge and understanding.

This training course includes case studies applied on Flowserve pumps, “hands on” learning, and more are presented from a practical and realistic point of view.

Audience

This course is intended for professionals working in risk management, process safety, operations, and safety leadership roles, including:

Engineers, experienced maintenance technicians, operations supervisors, pump application engineers, and salespeople needing to obtain a better understanding of the operation of pumps as they apply to piping systems. All personnel who operate, manage, or are involved in, designing, specifying, selling, sourcing, installing, servicing and maintaining Flowserve pumping equipment can attend this course. It is also suitable for:
Design Engineers, Plant Engineers, Facility Managers, Building Owners, Plant Operators, Safety Engineers, Recent College Graduates, and Pump Sales Representatives.
