The Piping System Assessment and Optimization seminar instructs attendees on how to evaluate energy consumption within your piping systems. With the main purpose of identifying ways of improving system reliability and reducing maintenance cost, capital cost, and operating cost. The seminar is based on the recently approved Energy Assessment for Pumping Systems Standard (ASME EA-2-2009). In addition, the seminar expands on the standard to provide you with an easy to follow method for performing system assessments and optimizations.

The course length is three days. Class starts at 8:00 AM each day and ends at 5:00 PM with a break for lunch. Example problems are provided so bring a calculator if you want to test out your new skills. for using the provided electronic worksheets. Laptops are also recommended.

Day 1

During the first day we build a solid foundation of knowledge needed to understand the system approach of performing a Pumping System Assessment. If you have been to the Piping System Training two-day course, this will be a little bit of a review, but with a focus on the Assessment Process.

Day 2

During the second day of the seminar we'll look how to develop an optimization method to employ the various steps needed to successfully complete a pumping system assessment. A pre-screening exercise is conducted to evaluate various piping systems to prioritize them according to potential energy savings, and an example assessment is presented to demonstrate the assessment and optimization method. 

Day 3

During the third day you will gain hands-on experience in performing Assessment Exercises using the knowledge gained during the seminar. After reviewing the system and conducting a system walkthrough with the instructor, you break up into groups to perform a system assessment and consider a variety of system optimization options. At the conclusion of each exercise, each group's assessment will be appraised to further drive home the learning experience.

Who Should Attend?

This seminar is ideally suited for engineers interested in developing an energy assessment and optimization plan for pumping systems. This includes individuals involved in developing a comprehensive corporate energy conservation program, as well as individuals at the plant level involved in carrying out a local energy assessment and optimization plan.

Since the cornerstone of the pumping system assessment is to operate the equipment efficiently, this seminar is ideal for individuals responsible for operating and maintaining piping systems. Running the system more efficiently reduces the operating cost as well as the maintenance costs. In addition, many of the areas covered in the assessment can be easily applied to developing troubleshooting techniques for pumping systems.
