Every pump operator — from engineers with years of experience to those just starting their careers — understands the importance of continued learning. Although many engineers consider themselves slurry pump experts, even the most seasoned professionals occasionally make mistakes. Ongoing professional development, which includes reviewing information and techniques already learned, should be a primary focus of all engineers. Doing so will ensure systems remain efficient and safe.
In the spirit of professional development, we created a short quiz to test your knowledge in pump troubleshooting, and long-term upkeep! Are you up for the challenge?

Maintenance education
Whether you got a perfect score or discovered some areas you need to brush up on, we hope you found a new appreciation for the value of lifelong learning and professional development — the benefits are truly endless. At GIW, we not only believe in continued professional development, we actively support it by offering two training courses specifically for engineers: Slurry Transport using Centrifugal Pumps; and Maintenance of Centrifugal Slurry Pumps. Both courses are held at our Grovetown, GA facility and include workshops, lectures, hands-on demonstrations, and networking.
Mark your calendar and register for our upcoming maintenance course, May 19-21, 2020. This course is designed to give engineers a robust understanding of how proper maintenance and operations can increase the reliability and efficiency of the entire pumping process. Thanks to research-backed lectures and demonstrations, participants will come away with new confidence and knowledge they can immediately apply to their pumping environment.
Participants will join industry experts in discussions of fluid flow, pump loading design, troubleshooting, and more. There will even be close-up demonstrations of water hammer and cavitation, as well as tours of our state-of-the-art Hydraulic Lab. This course is perfect for front-line supervisors, team leads, reliability engineers, and any personnel directly involved in the maintenance or operation of pump systems.
