OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF MOTORS AND PUMPS
[3 DAYS INSTRUCTION]
COURSE OVERVIEW
Most operators are well aware of the important role pumps play in the treatment and distribution of public water supplies. Without pumps, we would be forced to rely on gravity to transmit water from one location to any other. In other words, we would be at the mercy of nature, and water transmission as we know it would not be possible.
Operations and Maintenance is one of the most cost-effective methods for ensuring reliability, safety, and energy efficiency. Inadequate maintenance of energy-using systems is a major cause of energy waste in both the Federal government and the private sector. Energy losses from steam, water and air leaks, uninsulated lines, maladjusted or inoperable controls, and other losses from poor maintenance are often considerable. Good maintenance practices can generate substantial energy savings and should be considered a resource. Moreover, improvements to facility maintenance programs can often be accomplished immediately and at a relatively low cost.
