Efficient and reliable pumping systems rely on more than good quality installations. Optimal maintenance work contributes significantly to minimizing costs during the life of any pump installation.

Having site or field maintenance staff trained in the skills required to effectively maintain pumping assets will generate savings. Training delivers much more though than the ability to dismantle and repair and rebuild a pump. A thorough understanding of the theoretical principles of pump operation and interaction with process systems will allow poor installations to be identified and the appropriate corrective action taken to avoid premature failures. Courses run by Sulzer Pumps team of specialists deliver these skills.
