CS04: Mitigation of perennial seizure of boiler feed water pumps during commissioning of refinery unit
Abstract
Two mission critical electric motor driven BFW (Boiler Feed Water) pumps installed in remote site, facedcontinuous failures of rotor-stator seizures during commissioning and start up of Sulfur recovery units -Pumps had to be refurbished many times at service center by shifting from site and complete dismantling One of the Electric Motor faced several months of outage , bent rotor due to start up attempts These activity posed critical concern over project completion schedule
