Sinopsis

This book is intended for personnel who are or will be responsible for the engineering application, selection, commissioning, operation, maintenance or reliability for pumps of various types. The importance of pumps in attaining your plant's objectives of maximum unit throughput cannot be overemphasized. Each process unit relies on pumps to meet production quotas. Product revenue losses can range from upwards of a million dollars a day for each day that a process unit is out of operation. In addition, the speeds, pressure, temperatures of fluids associated with pump operation present a potential safety problem. As a result, pump unit safety and reliability is of utmost importance.

Therefore, the objective of this book is to present the principles of pump and auxiliary component design, installation, operation, maintenance and trouble-shooting in a practical manner that will explain why and how pump units react to process and external changes. Having achieved the book objective, readers will recognize the need to properly select, install, operate and maintain pumps to achieve maximum unit safety, reliability and throughput.
