An Introduction to Water System Pump Operation & Maintenance (M03-032)
This online engineering PDH course explains the operation of centrifugal and positive displacement pumps. In general a pump is a mechanical device that is used to raise the flow of a fluid from one elevation to the other by increasing the pressure of the fluid.
Centrifugal pumps use a centripetal force, which is defined as the action that causes the fluid to move away from its center of rotation. Where as positive displacement pumps physically entrap a quantity of liquid at the suction of the pump and push that quantity out the discharge of the pump.
This 3 PDH online course is applicable to mechanical engineers, plant operators, maintenance personnel, and technical staff who are interested in gaining a better understanding centrifugal and displacement pump design and operation.

This online engineering PDH course presents the types and applications of pumps used in pipelines transporting liquids.
Centrifugal pumps are used to increase pressure in a liquid for the purpose of transporting the liquid through piping and other devices for use in an industrial process. With the higher pressure, the liquid can be transported in short or long pipelines for delivery to an ultimate destination. Examples include water pipelines, refined petroleum and crude oil pipelines.
This 6 PDH online course is intended for civil, mechanical and process engineers and technicians dealing with centrifugal pumps in the water, petroleum, oil, chemical and process industries. Familiarity with engineering codes and standards such as API 610/620 and Hydraulic Institute Standards is recommended.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

This online engineering PDH course describes the basics of pump types, selection procedures, variable speed drives for pumps, capital cost savings, and system analysis.
Significant opportunities exist to reduce pumping system energy consumption through smart design, retrofitting, and operating practices. In particular, the many pumping applications with variable-duty requirements offer great potential for savings. The savings often go well beyond energy, and may include improved performance, improved reliability, and reduced life cycle costs.
