Pump Training Course

CDR Pumps offers a bespoke training programme covering the fundamentals of centrifugal pumps, focused on improving reliability, performance, and energy efficiency.

 

This reliability-focused course provides practical insight into pump operation, performance, troubleshooting, and failure analysis. 

 

Designed for project and maintenance engineers, as well as purchasing professionals, it helps reduce Mean Time Between Maintenance (MTBM), avoid costly breakdowns, and improve plant efficiency.

 

Through a hands-on approach, delegates gain a clear understanding of centrifugal pump design, system behaviour, energy usage, vibration, and common failure modes, with practical strip-down and rebuild experience included. 

 

The training equips participants with the knowledge and skills needed to diagnose issues early, optimise pump operation, and extend equipment life while delivering measurable energy and cost savings.

Fundamentals of Pumping Agenda

  • Pumping Fundamentals – how centrifugal pumps operate; how to analyse the performance curve. Learn about the ‘system curve’, and the effects of system changes and operational interventions on energy use, reliability, and performance.
  • Pump Design – the key design features of centrifugal pumps, the important components, and the principles of reliability and efficiency. 
  • Pump Strip & Rebuild* – a pump strip-down demonstration and the opportunity for hands-on practice of stripping down and rebuilding a pump 
  • Problem-Solvingthe impact that vibration has on your pumps, how to recognise how much power they are using, duty variations and the impact of pump performance on your site/facility
  • Failure Analysis – modes of failure, identify what has gone wrong and how to remedy it
