Expert instructors utilize state-of-the art training tools and methods to provide world-class instruction. Participants receive extensive hands-on opportunities using our portable Pump System Simulator and Free-Standing Pumps.

Designed for the training environment, the Pump System Simulator contains pumps configured in various modes of operation to give participants multiple options for practice. The double pump system uses transparent piping allowing participants to actually see the various flow patterns they configure, and in some locations, acrylic casings and stuffing box covers, allowing participants to view flow and cavitation inside the pumps.  Our free standing pumps of various configurations, mounted on rolling workbenches allow for hands-on assembly and disassembly. Participants get to actually perform the procedures being taught.
