Navigating the Department of Energy (DOE) Energy Conservation Standard and Test Procedure for Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
As the compliance date of January 27, 2020 approaches, the complexity of the US DOE Energy Conservation Standard (ECS) and Test Procedure (TP) for Pumps leaves many pump manufacturers, distributors, engineering procurement ...
Precision Grouting of Critical Rotating Equipment
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
Recently, there has been a trend in the way new equipment is being mounted that affects precision grouting during installation. Improper grouting not only wastes material, but can result in misalignment, unnecessary ...
Protective Wisdom: HF Releases and Associated Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
Catastrophic releases of hydrofluoric acid from pumps in Alkylation Units are a matter of public record. Exposure to HF can be fatal and specific safety measures are needed to enter the unit. Therefore, the reliability of ...
Fundamentals of MV Drives
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
Medium voltage ASDs (MV Adjustable Speed Drives) and motors are widely applied to plant rotating machinery like compressors, pumps, fans, extruders, mills, kilns, etc., ranging from a few horsepower (HP) to tens of thousands ...

Lifetime of Gas Turbines Hot Section Parts in an O&G Environment
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
The main driver to define the time between overhauls of a gas turbine is the life of the hot components. For an Oil&Gas operator, a turbine overhaul represents a major cost and therefore is a key point for performance ...
Resolving High Vibration On a Vertical Pump
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
High vibration were observed on the motor, pump,structure for more than 2 years with 1X dominant motor vibration. Assuming that the issue is of complete structural issue even though this motor was running well in the past, ...
Vertical Turbine Pump Reliability Improvement
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
The subject pump was designed and installed when pipeline pressure was estimated high based on a higher production volume. The selected multistage vertical turbine-pumps are generically prone to vibration issues due to its ...
Field Performance Testing Centrifugal and Reciprocating Compressors
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
Field performance testing is often necessary to verify guaranteed as-installed aerodynamic and mechanical performance of new machinery. It can also be used to monitor long-term machinery performance, track degradation ...
Centrifugal Compressors 201
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
This course supplements the Centrifugal Compressor 101 course by covering in greater detail four key areas related to compressors: aerodynamics, rotordynamics, performance and mechanical testing, and surge control. It is ...
