Free webinar - Optimize your pumps maintenance budget

Pumps & Systems offers a free webinar on optimizing your pumps maintenance budget, where you can learn which equipment to target, what information to collect and how to use it effectively. It will take place on Thursday, October 11, 2012, 1 p.m. EST.

About the webinar: A recent poll by Pumps & Systems showed that maintenance and energy efficiency are by far the top two concerns of plant managers and process engineers. Unplanned repairs can be 10 times as costly as scheduled maintenance - but if plants spend too much time and effort to avoid them, the costs can outweigh the benefits.

Dan Kernan, Manager of Monitoring and Control for ITT Industrial Process, will explain how organizations can optimize their maintenance programs to mitigate risks and minimize costs. He will describe best practices for implementing a variety of pump maintenance strategies—including which equipment to target, what information to collect and how to use it effectively.

Supported by case studies from multiple industries, Kernan will give attendees actionable advice that they can use to understand and improve the bottom-line benefits of their total investment in pumping systems.
