Join CDR Pumps for practical centrifugal pumps training – an opportunity to gain valuable insight into pump operation, performance, troubleshooting and failure analysis.

Designed for project and maintenance engineers, as well as purchasing professionals, it helps reduce Mean Time Between Maintenance (MTBM), avoid costly breakdowns, and improve plant efficiency.

Through a hands-on approach, delegates gain a clear understanding of centrifugal pump design, system behaviour, energy usage, vibration, and common failure modes, with practical strip-down and rebuild experience included.

The training equips participants with the knowledge and skills needed to diagnose issues early, optimise pump operation, and extend equipment life while delivering measurable energy and cost savings.

Key topics

Pumping fundamentals

  • How centrifugal pumps operate, how to analyse the performance curve of a centrifugal pump, and how pumps provide a complete picture of how pumping systems affect rotating equipment  
  • The ‘system’ curve, the effects of system changes, operational intervention, and the consequences on energy usage on pump reliability and performance characteristics

Pump design

  • The key design features of centrifugal pumps, the important components, and the principles of reliability and efficiency

Pump strip down

  • How to safely strip down and rebuild pumps – providing ‘hands-on’ experience and highlighting the key critical aspects

Diagnosing and solving problems

  • Troubleshooting, the impact of vibration, how to identify power consumption, duty variations and the impact of pump performance on your site/facility

Failure analysis

  • Modes and causes of failure, indicative signs of wear, remedies and cost-effective protection to eliminate failure, potential loss of containment, production and plant downtime
