A large petrochemical plant increased the service life of its equipment from six months to three years.
Bearings
Bearings are small parts of pump systems that play a critical role. They bear the load of the pump, allowing rotation. They must be properly lubricated and temperatures monitored to prevent failure. These articles explain the causes of bearing failure and how to prevent them - thus protecting overall system life.
The materials are able to withstand dry-run conditions.
Achieve pump and motor longevity by providing proper storage, avoiding pre-service damage, and conducting sound handling and maintenance procedures.
A tank farm, an airport and one of the region's largest oil and gas companies are using the technology for a variety of applications.
Modern labyrinth bearing protection seals can protect precision elements from contamination.
This equipment exploits the elasticity of synthetic rubber and ensures stable bearing behavior.
A thermoplastic composition in abrasive applications helped bearings meet end user specifications.
Oil, gas and petrochemical plants must protect bearings from contamination, moisture and overheating to keep production rates steady.
These recommendations can help end users prevent equipment degradation in pulp and paper applications.
These components do not have to be sealed from harsh operating media.
The resistant bearings guarantee consistent power supply by overcoming abrasive materials in glacier runoff and river debris.
This material stands up to pump upsets such as cavitation and dry running.
From storage to dismounting, every aspect of a bearing’s service life can impact its performance and reliability.
Discharges flowing through the bearings put motors at risk.
The material stands up to pump upsets such as cavitation and dry running.
Careful analysis identified the issue with this multistage, oil transfer pump.
Lip and labyrinth seals provide protection in harsh oil and gas applications.
Outside lubrication experts help improve protocols and minimize downtime.
