This module is designed to assist those who work with compressed air systems to fully understand the costs, and potential waste of energy, associated with compressed air use. Methods and practices to reduce leaks and inappropriate use of compressed air are discussed, as well as the need to set and maintain optimum settings.

Since December 2009 it is compulsory to use the “new” machinery directive 2006/42/EC. This requirement together with the harmonised standards could translate into a significant change in your organization. Other than several small modifications and additions, the new IIB declaration (referred to as the declaration of incorporation) is also introduced. Technical files and user manuals with information about transportation, installation, commissioning, adjustment, maintenance, disassembly, scraping and recycling must be created and delivered with the partially completed machinery.

Machinery can be a combination of machines. In this case we are dealing with an Integrated Manufacturing System (IMS). The information about IMS can be found in the harmonised standard EN ISO 11161:2010 Safety of machinery – Integrated manufacturing systems – Basic requirements.

Designed as a general introduction, this pneumatic training course aims to familiarise delegates with the design, construction and operation of pneumatic components. This includes the interpretation of circuit diagrams and symbols as well as the construction of control systems.
Practical sessions give delegates the opportunity to put theory into practice. Working from the diagrams they have produced, delegates have to select the correct components from a range of equipment and build the circuits, making the necessary adjustments for pressure, flow and sequence.

here is a trend among operators of water treatment plants towards the increased use of pneumatic drives instead of electric drives. The advantages in terms of cost, system reliability, reduced complexity, ease of use and maintenance clearly speak for this technology.
This three-day course gives the participants an insight into process automation in water-related plants, making an important contribution to the process reliability of these plants.

Safe water transport and distribution is essential for drinking water supply. Participants of this module are familiarized with control technologies in water transport to achieve the optimum distribution of drinking water to the consumer. For this purpose all relevant components need to function efficiently and form an effectively adjusted system. The module traces the flow of water from the source to the public. Pumps are one of the focuses, since they are widely used in water plants.

Just like good functionality and economic efficiency, safety is essential to the success of any product. What is more, the European directives and standards require intelligent solutions and raise the level of professional skills required. As a result, there is a wide range of different products, information and qualifications for safety engineering. However, most of them focus on the control level. This course familiarises participants with integrated control and pneumatic solutions for the right commissioning, troubleshooting, set-up, maintenance and simple optimisation of a system.

This course provides you with insight into process valve technology, including valve/drive selection based on materials and standards, and taking cavitations into account. It also gives you an understanding of entire valve control systems.
