The BRI WORKSHOP is a two and a half day training session combining classroom and practical factor instruction.  The students will learn centrifugal and positive displacement pump and mechanical seal fundamentals, learn how to determine the most reliable way to apply, operate and maintain this equipment, learn problem solving and troubleshooting skills as it applies to pumps and seals and perform or witness several practical factors and demonstrations in BRI’s repair facility. Practical factors include, pump disassembly and re-assembly, impeller  and mechanical seal failure analysis, mechanical seal assembly/disassembly, and demonstrations include dynamic balance, thermography, vibration analysis, laser alignment, pipe strain effects on alignment and pump operation showing variable speed operation and effects, cavitation and pump protection devices.

The course is very interactive and students are invited to share experiences, ask questions relevant to their plant and bring up real problems they are having that get addressed by the instructors. The instructors are experienced BRI salesmen and management. The course is fun and the instructors are witty and engaging.  The overall goal of the course is to educate each student so he/she will be able to more reliably operate equipment and more competently troubleshoot and repair existing equipment...both of these objectives leading to total cost reduction for the customer.
