Why do we offer the WSK Edition pump station in addition to the other learning systems?
Because the station design is aimed at simulating the situation in the pump room of water technology systems or large systems (including chemical plants). The point is that maintenance personnel are confronted with large, heavy units in real operation and have to learn how to behave in order to carry out maintenance or repairs without harming people or the unit. To this end, it is important that the mechanics have a certain size and stability in order to gain acceptance and attention, and that they can be dismantled and reassembled several times. The size of the individual parts must also not be too delicate so that they can be practically used for assembly with protective equipment such as gloves, safety goggles, etc. The handling of heavy components using a workshop crane must also be practiced, which requires the units to be of a minimum size. There are also exercises on the "lockout-tagout" work process, which involves the safe shutdown and start-up of a system with the participation of various skilled workers. For example, manual shut-off valves must be large enough to be secured with a safety lock to prevent them from being switched on again. The fact that control cabinets and control rooms are often very far away from the units to be switched also poses a major accident risk and can be practiced at the station.
