(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1999)At a major oil products refinery, an aggressive effort has been ongoing to improve centrifugal pump reliability and efficiency. Working closely with a manufacturer of high-grade thermoplastics, the company has developed ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)Market pressures are demanding cost reductions in the process industries. Most operators are seeking to achieve substantial savings through reductions in the maintenance and “real” operating costs of centrifugal pumps of ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2001)During the life of a plant, there often arises a need to change a pump’s rating to match a new plant operating condition or raise the mean time between repair (MTBR) of an unreliable pump. In these cases, rerating the pump ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1990)Delmarva Power Indian River Power Station’s Unit 4 has had boiler feed pump reliability problems since startup in 1980. The pump has been rebuilt nine times with post overhaul operability ranging from 30 minutes to 16 ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)One of the foremost concerns facing pump users today is that of rotordynamics. As pump speeds have increased to provide improved efficiencies and lighter packages, rotordynamics has assumed a significantly greater role in ...
-
(2021-12-09)Drinking water distribution systems (DWDS) in the United States utilize approximately 2% of the nation’s total energy (DOE, 2021). The 2014 US Department of Energy (DOE)Report states 39.2 billion kWh energy is used in ...
