The Hydraulic Institute and Pump Systems Matter have teamed up to create a one-day Pumping System Optimization course that provides attendees with the information needed to conduct basic assessments of their pumping systems. Case studies will be discussed throughout the course. Hands-on group exercises are an integral part of this course including: How to estimate the annual energy cost of a pumping system, how to match a system curve/pump curve and determine if the right pump is being used and how to improve a pumping system and the life cycle costs of each improvement.

As the result of this course, participants will better understand:

• The benefits of improving the performance of pumping systems

• System optimization and basic pump system interaction

• How to screen pumping systems to find good systems improvement candidates

• How to identify and implement basic performance improvement opportunities

• Basic life-cycle cost analysis

• How to plan and propose an Action Plan to management

Course Content Includes:

• Why efficient pumping systems are important

• Systems optimization

• Basic pump system interaction

• Screening pumping systems

• Analysis tools for pumping systems

• Improving the performance of pumping systems

• Life cycle cost analysis

• Developing an Action Plan

• Resources and follow-up strategy

Optimizing Pumping Systems: A Guide For Improved Energy Efficiency, Reliability & Profitability 

Considered the most comprehensive book on optimizing pumping systems, this books was compiled by Pump Systems Matter and the Hydraulic Institute working with twenty-two industry experts. This book is valued at $195. Additional copies may be purchased from the Hydraulic Institute.

Pump System Basic Assessment Guide:

Pump Systems Matter worked with sponsor BC Hydro to develop this guide outlining the process of a Basic or Level I pumping system assessment. This assessment guide provides pump system examples that could be investigated further for cost-effective system improvements. It includes a form to gather the needed data on the pumping systems.

Course Participant Guidebook:

To maximize the value of your learning experience during and after the training course, your extensive course manual has been designed with many useful guidelines and key points of information covered in the course.

You will find this manual to be an excellent resource for retrieving concepts taught during the seminar and applying them back on the System assessment process.

Course Certificate:

At the conclusion of the training course, you will be awarded an attractive Certificate of Completion from the Hydraulic Institute for confirmation of your 7 hours continued educational credits.

"Additional Resources" Document:

This document includes information to follow-up activities such as webinars and surveys.
