This course provides a structured approach to diagnosing and resolving faults in pump systems across industrial and wastewater applications. It equips engineers, operators, and maintenance professionals with the practical skills needed to identify root causes and restore reliable operation. The course develops a systematic fault-finding methodology, enabling participants to move beyond symptoms and accurately interpret issues such as reduced performance, vibration, noise, overheating, and seal or mechanical failures.
Common failure modes that include: cavitation, dry running, wear and corrosion are examined, along with their causes, progression, and early detection through effective monitoring and inspection.
Participants will learn how to assess problems methodically, gather and interpret data, and implement corrective actions that address root causes rather than temporary fixes. The course also highlights the role of installation, operation, and maintenance practices in preventing failures and improving long-term reliability while reducing downtime and lifecycle costs.
