VacAdemics
Improving the efficiency, reliability and performance of your vacuum process is what is important. VacAdemics is for that very purpose. Knowledge about how vacuum equipment, such as ejectors, liquid ring vacuum pumps and process condensers, operates or is affected by process changes is important. You must have it to keep your vacuum process optimal. VacAdemics will provide the knowledge you require.
VacAdemics Educational Seminar is where your vacuum equipment knowledge and understanding is taken to the next level. The two-day training seminar combines classroom with hands-on operation of vacuum equipment. Certain equipment is built in glass construction so you are able to visualize what is presented in the classroom. See how a vacuum system actually responds to process changes or variation of utilities.
Class size is limited to 10-15 attendees. Cost for the two-day course is $995 per person. Class make-up is diversified users of vacuum systems from oil refining, petrochemical, pharmaceuticals, chemical, edible oils and specialty chemicals.
