    • Driving Pump Reliability Forward With Advanced Composite Wear Rings 
      Aronen, Robert; Boulden, Brian; Russek, Martin (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2007)
      In 2003, a refinery began a program to apply advanced composite wear rings, line shaft bearings, and related components. By September 2006, the program had expanded to 61 pumps, at which point plant personnel quantified ...
    • Evaluating The Long-Term Performance Of Composite Wear Rings In Centrifugal Pumps 
      Aronen, Robert; Russek, Martin (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M University, 2011)
      Refinery instituted a standardization program to install composite wear rings with reduced clearance into a large population of pumps. Purpose of study was to improve pump reliability. Study was conducted on first 61 pumps ...
