Pump Upgrade
Case Study
An oil refinery that was in need of new BB5 pumps for their liquid injection pumps.
The Details
The client was a local oil refinery factory that was in need of new BB5 pumps for their liquid injection pumps.The pump was installed in 2005 and was experiencing some typical,although extreme,wear and tear on their pumps.
Of the two pumps required to run the facility, one was particularly broken; the pump were badly damaged and caused running failure. A new replacement pump was considered, but the duplicate pump was too expensive to afford due to cost saving. After consulting other pump manufacturers, the client was told that they need to change suction and discharge pipeline hich will cause a lot expense too. However, at Pro-CAST solutions, we know that pump upgrading solutions can be satisfied.
Even if the client was able to find a new pump at a reasonable price, it is very difficult to find a pump that will have the same size and connection. And operation the same way by using the old motor and Old pipeline. Pro-CAST Solutions is a valuable service that not only avoids long lead times and high costs, but also minimize the works at jobsite.
Using the worn and broken parts, Pro-CAST Solutions was able to Reverse Engineer the complete rotating element including the impeller, bearing housings, shaft, sleeves, and rings. In addition, we were able to perform a massive weld repair on the machining and casing.The result was a fully functional pump where all of the pieces fit together as if in their original state.
With an 20 week turnaround time, the new BB5 upgrading pump is now operating at the original head, flow, and duty point.
