I attended the fourth annual PumpTec conference (Holiday Inn Select on Peachtree Industrial Drive) in Norcross (Atlanta), GA, USA last week. There were 45 attendees taking the technical courses, some from as far away as the Philippines. The symposium was a two day event covering such topics as:

End suction centrifugal pumps by Lev Nelik, Pumping Machinery LLC

Double suction centrifugal pumps by Pete Noll, Peerless Pumps

Vertical turbine pumps by Rick Silcox, Peerless Pump

Internal and external gear pumps by John Petersen, Viking/Idex

Progressive cavity pumps by Jim Siebolt, Colfax Corp.

Multiple screw pumps (two screw and three screw) by Jim Brennan, Colfax Corp., retired

The symposium included “hands-on” disassembly and assembly of pumps by attendees as well as NPSH demonstration testing of small centrifugal pumps. Tuesday afternoon included Bearings and Lubrication and Alignment and Vibration Fundamentals.

PumpTec 2009 will be held September 14 & 15, 2009. For additional information, go to www.PumpingMachinery.com.
