Case Study on Investigation and Resolution of High Lube Oil Pump Bearing Temperature for Off Spec. Condensate Recycle Pumps
Abstract
Off Spec Condensate Recycle Pumps on an onshore gas production facility exhibited high lube oil temperature in pump bearing housing that exceeded the alert limits since commissioning. A Structured Root Cause Analysis was carried out to ascertain the cause of the high lube oil temperature that identified a large variation in pumping medium specific gravity as against the design data. This case study will cover review of the pump design, problem history, structured root cause analysis conducted, solution implemented, along with results and lessons learnt.
