CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS COURSE

Industrial installations and fluids require for normal operation that a number of fluids are transported from one area to another, besides regulating the pressure and flow among many other parameters. The pumps are the equipment responsible for this function. Drive pumps applications are enormous: heating and cooling, transfer reagents, etc.

RENOVETEC COURSE of centrifugal pumps studies in detail from a technical point of view the main pumps involved in the fluids transport: centrifugal pumps.

The aim of the course is to train the operation and maintenance technician of this important equipment so as to ensure the correct choice of appropriate
equipment, trouble-free operation and proper maintenance to ensure availability and long life.
