Hands-On Peristaltic

& Diaphragm

Pumps Workshop

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This hands-on workshop will provide participants with practical knowledge about peristaltic and diaphragm pumps, two common pumping technologies used in various industries. Participants will have the opportunity to explore the inner workings of these pumps, understand their applications, and learn how to operate and maintain them effectively.

Learning Objectives:

By the end of the workshop, participants should be able to

1. Explain the principles of operation for peristaltic and diaphragm pumps.
2. Identify the key components of both pump types.
3. Demonstrate how to properly operate peristaltic and diaphragm pumps.
4. Understand common applications and scenarios for each pump.
5. Recognize maintenance and troubleshooting procedures for these pumps.

Materials/Resources Provided:

• Peristaltic and diaphragm pump models for demonstration.
• Safety equipment (gloves, goggles, etc.).
• Printed or digital handouts with key information.
• Visual aids (diagrams, cutaway models) if available.

Case Study – Treating PFAS, 1,4-dioxane, MTBE, and Fe/Mn in Dover, NH

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

The City of Dover is constructing the most advanced groundwater treatment facility in the State of New Hampshire. This presentation will discuss the challenges of treating multiple contaminants with uncertainties in concentrations and future regulations. The design approach was to use multiple unit processes with provisions for additional treatment if needed in the future. A unique aspect is the use of Artificial Recharge to supplement aquifer yield and help mitigate contamination. The $15M facility has a capacity of 1,000 gpm and is due to go online in 2024. The presentation will include our experiences with the design and start-up of three other municipal PFAS treatment facilities in NH and how the projects overcame technical, regulatory, and funding challenges.
