PARSIPPANY, N.J. - The Hydraulic Institute (HI) has released its 2021 virtual training schedule.
The Pump System Assessment Professional (PSAP) Certification Preparation Courses offer 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 purpose of Hydraulic Institute’s Pumps and Systems Fundamentals Course is to educate and train new pump engineers, technical sales, pump system owners, designers, and operators on the fundamentals of pump and system design, including system hydraulics and calculations, pump and system curves, system components, factors affecting reliably and energy consumption, and control.
Pumping systems account for a significant portion of a facility’s energy use and maintenance costs in many industries. In the majority of pumping systems, the energy added to the working fluid by the pump is much greater than required by the process. The excess energy added to the system not only increase energy costs; it also generates heat, noise and vibration that increase the system’s maintenance costs. The goal of the Pump System Optimization Course is to understand how to identify, minimize and reduce expense by educating you on the variables that influence the performance of a pump system.
This course will provide in-depth instruction on the methodology and opportunities to increase efficiency and reliability in pumping systems. Pumping systems are amongst the highest energy consumers and frequently offer one of the greatest cost savings opportunity. Attendees will learn how to assess options to determine cost effectiveness while improving both efficiency and reliability of pumping systems.
