DOMI of Pumps, Level 2

Training Descriptions:
This course is designed to provide an in-depth perspective of pump technology in
terms of selection, operation, inspection, troubleshooting and maintenance. Topics
covered include pump types and terminology, centrifugal and positive-displacement
pumps, packing, mechanical seals and sealing systems, bearings, couplings and
other vital components.

Training Objectives:
By the end of the training, participants will be able to:
 - Understand classification of the different types of pumps.
