What is next? 3

Hi all,

I recently joined a company as a technical support/assistant where I have to recommend pumps(mostly Centrifugal pumps) for various applications. So far am doing ok considering the fact that my background is Chemical Eng. I believe there is still more to learn and many areas for self-improvement.

So I searched for courses that I can take but didnt find much online-of course there are lots of courses out there but what am looking for is something short, maybe a certificate or two, waste water treatment,or pumping related applications and/or any other.


Can you guys suggest anything...
Since I am new at this forum, I apologize if i am asking the wrong questions.

Thanks in advance:

Hello everybody:

Meanwhile you find a course, you can burn some of your grey matter by studying from this handbook.

Good luck !

is a downloadable software for modelling your systems. it is limited to the number of nodes. If you want the Daddy of this product go to

but of course you will have to invest.

The website also offers other educational matters.

could also be of interest.

I would try and get hold of the Sulzer pump design handbook for some sound engineering.

You might want to monitor the PEICE class offerings. From time to time they offer the "Introduction to Pumps - Design, Application and Operation" class. I attended this two day course and was very happy with it. I had 5+ years experience in the pumps world, but it filled in a lot of gaps in my learning and left me with a better understanding of the many types of pumps and where each is used.

I also have attended pump courses that were taught by manufactures. The manufactures didn't offer certificates like I recieved from the PEICE course, and limited their class to the pump types that they make but were classes were free and just as valuable in my learning.
