PUMPING SYSTEM ASSESSMENT WORKSHOP

DESCRIPTION:

This course is endorsed by Eskom DSM and the National Energy Efficiency Agency in the interests of saving electricity

Designed to help engineers and technicians better understand how optimising both existing and new pumping systems will lead to reduced life cycle costs and major reductions in energy usage.

Who Can Benefit From This Course

Engineering consultants, engineering procurement construction engineers, pump system designers, pump system specialist, assessment engineers, process engineers, system engineers, reliability engineers, maintenance managers, and energy efficiency engineers.

Delegates Will Learn The Following:

• Benefits of assessing pumping systems
