Pump Training for Process Operators
Centrifugal and positive displacement pumps, their operation and care.
Why it matters on the unit
Pumps move nearly every liquid in the plant. Starting, stopping and swapping pumps are routine duties, and mistakes such as running dry or deadheading damage equipment quickly.
Operators who understand the difference between centrifugal and positive displacement pumps know which checks apply and what a noise, vibration or pressure change means.
