PARSIPPANY, N.J. - The Pump Systems Assessment Professional (PSAP) Live Virtual Prep Course brings participants together in a virtual classroom, where they receive training from an expert.
This course offers 2½ days of virtual in-person instruction on pump and pump system fundamentals, system optimization and assessment, and preparation for the PSAP certification exam. The course will cover the knowledge areas for conducting pump system assessment and prepares you to take the PSAP Certification Exam.
With energy efficiency and system optimization leading a shift in the pump industry, there is a growing need for pump system professionals with the knowledge and experience to perform high quality assessments to benchmark current systems and recommend system upgrades.
Pump system training provides professionals with the knowledge and tools to perform system assessments and the Pump Systems Assessment Professional (PSAP) Certification provides third-party validation of an individual’s proficiency in pump fundamentals, pump system optimization techniques, and implementation of pump system assessments.
The course will cover:
- Explain the benefits of assessing pumping systems for optimization and the impacts of energy consumption
- Understand the interaction between pump behavior and system behavior, effectively use pump and system curves to guide pump selection and control, and understand pump system power consumption
- Understand how the system is controlled and how to vary the operating point
- Identify common operating issues in pump systems and how to resolve it
- Explain the function of different pump system components, such as drivers, bearings, seals, piping, valves, and instrumentation
- Explain the U.S. DOE regulations for certain clean water pumps and industry efforts to promote energy efficient pumps and pump systems
