Various production processes imply the movement of liquid substances sent by pipelines to the tank using pumping installations. So that the pumping equipment is uninterrupted, a specially trained worker is required, which will observe this process and, if necessary, be able to prevent an emergency situation in a timely manner.
Peculiarities
Machine pumping installations He is a specialist whose profession is related to the functioning of various systems.
