Pump Systems - Improving Energy Efficiency and Reliability

A recorded 54 minute on demand webinar by Roland McKinney Senior Consultant, Sustainability, SKF

Pump systems play a critical role in most plant industrial facilities. Many assessments suggest that energy costs for pump systems can be reduced by 20% or more, simply by improving pump and system efficiency. This presentation will discuss how plants can carry out routine measurements and monitor pump energy efficiency, ultimately to reduce energy costs. An Energy Monitoring Service - Pump Systems program can work in parallel with your condition monitoring program as part of a comprehensive asset management system.

Watch this on-demand webinar to find out more about:

* Pump system energy considerations

* Relationship between energy consumption and reliability

* Outline of an Energy Monitoring Service - Pumps Systems program

Best Practices in Oil Sampling

A 7 minute iPresentation Tutorial by Kelly Wollschlager, Trico Corp

A company could spend thousands of dollars collecting oil samples, analyzing reports only to find out that the means that the sample was extracted jeopardized the competency of the sample itself. Some of the areas where data integrity could be comprised include: how was the sample taken, what tools were used to take the sample, and where was the sample taken. This i-Presentation will discuss how to achieve best practices in oil sampling.

Alignment Tip: Never Assume

In alignment when things just will not work , it's usually because you've assumed something was - when it wasn't.

Example: Two guys attempted to align a motor to a pump for about two days and just could not get anything to work right. Even though they were both experienced millwrights, they kept assuming they were making some simple error. It was a new pump in a new construction project. What should have been a pump in pristine condition turned out to be a pump with no bearings. (No bearings???) The pump did not require mechanical seals. The two sets of packing provided sufficient "bearings" to allow the pump to be turned by hand; but there was a slight axial drift where there shouldn't have been. Once the new bearings (which included axial thrust bearings) were installed, the alignment process went smoothly.
