Centrifugal Pump Operation & Cavitation - Training Guide
============================================================

MINIMUM RESOLUTION: 980 x 600 px
RECOMMENDED: 1920 x 1080 (16:9) or larger

SIMULATOR OVERVIEW
----------------------------------------
Centrifugal pump simulator covering pump curves, NPSH analysis, cavitation detection, and mechanical seal monitoring per API 610 and HI standards.

Standards: API 610 · HI 14.6 · ASME B73

INTERFACE LAYOUT
----------------------------------------
- LEFT PANEL: System controls (Start/Stop/ESD/Reset, Mode toggle)
- CENTER: P&ID schematic with real-time process visualization
- RIGHT PANEL: System gauges, operational checklist, alarm list

OPERATING PROCEDURES
----------------------------------------
  Step 1: Verify suction valve open
  Step 2: Vent pump casing
  Step 3: Verify pump primed
  Step 4: Start pump motor
  Step 5: Open discharge valve gradually
  Step 6: Verify flow and pressure
  Step 7: Check NPSH margin adequate
  Step 8: Monitor vibration and bearing temperature

SCENARIOS
----------------------------------------

  Normal Pump Start:
  Start pump — vent, prime, open discharge gradually.

  Cavitation Detection & Recovery:
  Identify cavitation and adjust NPSH available.

  Parallel Pump Operation:
  Start standby pump in parallel and balance flow.

ALARM RESPONSE
----------------------------------------
  CAVITATION [ALARM]: Cavitation detected — low NPSH
  SEAL_LEAK [ALARM]: Mechanical seal leak rate excessive
  VIB_HIGH [WARNING]: Vibration exceeds alarm level
  BEARING_TEMP [WARNING]: Bearing temperature high
  DEADHEAD [ALARM]: Pump running against closed discharge
