Flow Technology 2020

Keeping process industries and essential services flowing during COVID-19

PLEASE CLICK HERE TO BE DIRECTED TO OUR ON DEMAND SITE

On 12 June, Australia’s pump professionals, engineers and end users will gather to learn from local and international experts in maintenance, reliability and condition monitoring

It has never been more important to gather the professionals responsible for keeping our lights on, water and sewerage services operating, and process industries running. And while we can’t meet in person right now, we can gather for this virtual conference, where reliability engineers, rotating equipment engineers and other process industry professionals will gather to share knowledge about managing pump assets to keep services flowing.

In this virtual conference, we’ll look at the importance of maintenance, reliability and condition monitoring, and what pump end users can do to ensure equipment continues running smoothly during this sustained crisis. We’ll look at best-practices, and what pump engineers and end users need to know and can do to maintain service and supply and reduce equipment downtime.
