The four-day course will focus on different aspects of the pump and slurry process, such as:

  • slurry pump and drive characteristics;
  • dynamic effects (pump and drives);
  • pipeline systems;
  • the interaction between pump, drive and pipelines;
  • the influence of solid particles;
  • dynamic effects in the pump – pipeline systems;
  • the fundamentals of hydraulic transportation and dredge pumps.
