CONCLUSION

Pump is used to convert mechanical energy into fluid energy and allows fluid to be
transferred from one place to another. In this experiment, we can analyse the pump
characteristics and performances of pumps in series and parallel at a fixed speed. We also
understand the types of pumps available and their different characteristics. Measurements of
head, flow, speed and torque allow the performance of each pump to be determined and
compared. Pre-commissioning (such as connection of the pump, electric current check, speed
sensor check etc) and commissioning (turn on the main switch, taking turns in opening and
closing the valves etc) steps should be done correctly in order to not having a problem when
start up the pump or the operation. Correct commissioning is vital to the satisfactory
operation of any plant or facility and it is essential that sufficient time and resources be
allocated to different stages of the commissioning and start up. For the conclusion, the
objectives are achieved since we are able to gain the knowledge and techniques that can be
applied in pre-commissioning, commissioning and start-up of the pump.

SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATION

In experiment, there were some errors that occur while running the experiment. The
apparatus should be test before start the experiment to avoid leaking or big losses energy due
to the pipe friction. Next, to avoid from having the bad results due to randomly results, we
should take more than one reading and take the average. Additionally, the one who takes the
reading should be the same person to reduce the error. The pre-commissioning team should
ensure that all procedures described in this manual sheet are followed and documented with
appropriate forms at every stage of pre-commissioning. For company, the pre-commissioning
activity assures that every part of the plant is in a good state of cleanliness and prepared
before the commissioning and future operation of the plant. When properly planned, a
smooth pre-commission process can be expected and will enable effective transition through
the remaining phases of the project, providing value to the overall construction and enhancing
project safety.
