Course Overview

What does a pump and valve engineer do?

Pump and valve engineers are responsible for determining and analysing details of pump and valve design, maintenance activities and study of pump and valves supply and installation and maintenance. Any plant uses pump and valves for pumping and controlling of fluid or liquid. It has devices used such as pump operated by using a prime move similar to electric motor and valves used for controlling the flow of fluid. These pumps are of different varieties and types being used along with the values.

This pump and valves training course will make you competent to understand the application and types of pumps and valves. This will focus on how the pump and valve operates and functions. It will also tell you how to make a pump and valves work efficiently. The maintenance and operation of pump to determine excessive consumption and losses in the system, will be explained.

Why pump and valve engineering?

The methods adopted to practice maintenance of pumps and make efficient processes is an essential requisite for mechanical engineers. This training course will look at piping and flanges used in the pump and piping system. The program covers all studies related to pump function, its system maintenance management and operation.

In this Zoe course, you will be provided with opportunities to enhance your skills, capacity and help organizations to make pumps and valves operate more efficiently.
