2.4 contact hours towards CWEA's CSM, EIT, MT certifications

This session includes the following presentations:

NPSHA vs. NPSHR and Effect on Pump Operation
Cavitation is one of the leading causes of pump failure as it causes impellers, and casings to erode rapidly and increases vibration that contributes to premature bearing and seal failure. Understanding the contributing factors helps avoid potential pump failures caused by cavitation.
Learning Objective(s): 
After participating in this session, attendees will be able to:
• Better understand the contributing factors that proper available suction pressure can have on pump performance.
• Describe how piping design can affect pump performance and learn how to avoid potential problems.
• Discuss pump curves and how to identify the proper means of selecting a pump to operate without cavitation.

Pumping Systems: Energy Efficiency vs. Operating Efficiency
Addressing the current issues of keeping pump stations operational with less maintenance down time requires us to look at how the station is designed and what the proper pump selection should be to meet the demands of each individual application. Provides a comparison of the energy consumption of different impeller designs to the higher cost of maintenance to unplug clogged pumps on a regular basis.
Learning Objective(s): 
After participating in this session, attendees will be able to:
• Make more informed decisions about selecting the proper equipment to provide peak performance for a specific pumping application.
• Compare the differences between system energy savings and reduced maintenance costs and make selections based on the greater of the two.
• Identify critical steps to enhance strategic thinking, innovation and insight. "

Registrants who view the full recording to see the slides and hear the audio will receive 2.4 contact hours towards CWEA's CSM, EIT, MT certifications.  It is not possible receive contact hours for both attending the live webinar and viewing the recording.  

Please note, all user activity of CWEA certification holders on the Online Wastewater Education Network is subject to the CWEA Code of Ethics standards for professional conduct and ethics. Certification holders should receive credit for a training only once within the same contact hour period. Any attempt to undermine the certification process may be subject to ethics procedures and possible sanctions.

For programs that are one hour or less:  to receive your contact hours for viewing the program, please note the one (1) attention check code that will be displayed during the program in the top left or right corner of the presentation for approximately 90 seconds.  Please enter this code in the "Attention Check Code" component under the "Contents" tab.

For programs that are more than one hour:  to receive your contact hours for viewing the program, two (2) different attention check codes that will be displayed at two different points during the program in the top left or right corner of the presentation for approximately 90 seconds.  Please enter these codes as 1st attention check code – 2nd attention check code (XXXX-XXXX) in the "Attention Check Code" component under the "Contents" tab.

Once you have entered the correct attendance check code(s), you will be able to create and download an electronic "Certificate of Completion" under the "Contents" tab.
