“Pumping and Hydraulics’ Solutions for Water and Waste Water”
ABN 92 105 345 506
Our latest course "Sustainable Pumping for Water & Waste Water engineers was launched in Hobart during October 2023.
The course was so popular there that we had to arrange a second course sitting!
Here are some feedback comments from that course:
"Robert, your dedication and expertise have truly made this course an exceptional learning experience. It was an absolute pleasure to be a part of it."

"Well presented by Rob with amazing industry knowledge and technical advice that had everyone hooked. I would recommend to anyone working in the building services industry wanting to further their understanding of sustainable pumping options and auditing/troubleshooting existing pumped systems".

Sustainable Pumping for Water & Waste Water
Sustainable Pumping for Irrigation
The "Sustainable Pumping series of courses equips participants to reduce pumping carbon footprint and save $1000's pumping costs in the design of new or modifying existing water pumping systems, using skills and "fit for purpose" software written by author Robert Welke. In fact, the real value of this course is in the software! See video here ===>
Sustainable Pumping in any water pumping system is largely a measure of the  hydraulic efficiency.

The course highlights how friction losses (hydraulic efficiency) in every component of the pumping system impacts on pumping and emission costs, particularly over time as pipeline performance degrades, then offers a suite of software used to identify where those losses are, and optimize those losses.

The course is filled with anecdotes from Robert's 56 years' pumping system energy efficiency experience which goes to provide a very practical and “real world” approach to designing sustainable pumping systems.

The Face2Face course is run over 2 days. Contact Rob on 0414 492 256 to arrange an in-house course (min 8 people), or attend any one of our planned sessions.

The Sustainable Pumping courses and software empowers you to identify savings in any water pumping system, be it Municipal, Industrial, Irrigation or building Services.
