Overview
We are excited to announce conducting the second basic training for the JCAR project and the activities of the research project "Performance Enhancement of Pump Stations for Irrigation and Drainage (PEPSI)"
The training course, titled "Introduction to the Basics of predictive maintenance and vibration analysis of Pumps for Engineers," was conducted for 28 engineers from the MED during the period from 18 to 23 March 2023 at the National Water Research Center (NWRC)
Throughout the training, attendees learned about the principles and capabilities of predictive maintenance, the basics of mechanical vibrations, machine condition monitoring for pumps, appropriate sensor and location choices, and commonly diagnosed faults by vibration analysis. They were also guided on fault diagnosing techniques and introduced to machine vibration standards and acceptance limits. The training included practical vibration problems and hands-on training at the AboElmonaga pumping station.
The training course was under the supervision of Dr. Rash Al-Kholy, the president of the NWRC, Dr. Ayman El-Sayed, Head of the Mechanics and Electricity Department (MED), Dr. Sami Saad, Director of the Hydraulics Research Institute and the supervisor of the Mechanical and Electrical Research Institute (MERI).
