Blacoh University’s New Pump Industry Video is a Hit

RIVERSIDE, Calif. - June 23, 2014 - PRLog -- Blacoh University’s new full-length feature video, Water District Project Insights: A Roundtable Discussion, is just that. Shooting on location at the Las Virgenes Municipal Water District in Southern California, Blacoh University brought together the end user, engineer, distributor and contractor to discuss key aspects of a project to procure new equipment for a water reservoir and treatment facility.

Andrew Yeghnazar, President of Blacoh Fluid Control, talked about how the roundtable format came to be. “We challenged ourselves to capture integral parts of a complex process that relies heavily on technical knowledge and expertise, strong business relationships, and hands-on support in order to succeed,” said Yeghnazar. “From the beginning of Blacoh University, we knew it wasn’t just about making more information available. It has to be packaged and disseminated in a way that makes it both relevant and useful.”

The roundtable video delves into the equipment procurement process, answering questions about how product requirements are specified and by whom. Is it the end user or the engineer that determines equipment specs? What are the responsibilities of the distributor representing the product and when do they get involved? What are the expectations of the end user? The various roles of the engineer, distributor and contractor, and how they interact both with each other and with the end user are key to the discussion.

Shortly before the public release, Blacoh reached out to distributors and business partners to solicit feedback on the content and format of Water District Project Insights. From the responses received, it appears they hit the mark on both counts. “Overall, what was most appreciated by reviewers was the insight gained from the conversational interaction of the participants,” said Yeghnazar. “The pump industry has been around for a very long time. We’ve seen a lot of consolidation in recent years with a growing number of mergers and acquisitions. After 30 or 40 years in the business, a whole generation of pump professionals are retiring. The result is a new pool of talent who can benefit from the kind of knowledge that only seasoned professionals can impart.”

With the success of this roundtable video discussing a municipal water district project, Blacoh University has plans for similar projects in the future focusing on other fluid processing applications including chemical, food and pharmaceutical, and upstream oil and gas to name just a few.
