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 ...

Greenhill, Lyn; Lease, Valerie (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2007)Three vertical pumps at a wastewater transfer station a few miles away from the San Andreas Fault and next to an apartment building were the source of vibration and noise complaints. To attune the transmitted vibration, a ...

Rawal, Sonia; Kshirsagar, J. T. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2007)This paper deals with pump as turbine (PAT) as a feasible solution to the energy problems in rural and hilly areas. PAT provides an economical alternative to actual turbines especially for pico and microhydropower generation. ...

Wilcox, Ed (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2007)The paper describes the problems encountered and solutions that were implemented to improve the reliability of a high speed/high energy centrifugal pump. Two of these pumps were originally installed in 1984, with a third ...
-
Monroe, Todd; Monroe, Perry (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2007)The purpose of this paper is to take a “back to basics” look at installation issues that affect pump reliability. Topics of hydraulic fit, baseplate installation, shaft alignment, and piping alignment will be discussed.
