Hudson Pump’s August 21 Seminar: A Powerful Return to the Fundamentals
On August 21, 2025, Hudson Pump hosted the second session of our “We Are Back” technical seminar series — this time focused on Basic Centrifugal Pumps — and the turnout was nothing short of fantastic. With around 50 attendees, the seminar was packed with industry professionals eager to sharpen their skills and dive into pump theory and operation.
Our expert-led sessions covered:
Basic Self-Priming Pump Theory
Pump Terminology (NPSH, Cavitation, etc.)
Pump Safety
Pump Curves & Sizing
Brake Horsepower
Mechanical Seals & Packing
Best Efficiency Point (BEP)
Hands-On Demonstration Workstations
Instructor team highlights:
We welcomed back Adam Shipanock and Sean Reiford as lead instructors, with Larry Strickland, Tim Wilson, Travis Poling, and Doug Thomas facilitating dynamic hands-on breakout sessions.
Attendees praised the blend of technical insight and practical application, with many noting that the session delivered more than expected — one even said it would “help further their career.” While the team was so engaged that photos took a back seat this time, the knowledge shared was front and center.
