Case study – Early fault detection of unique pump bearing faults at a major US refinery

2022-09-21
●After costly fires caused by seal leaks of several important pumps,a major North American refinery decided to replace the legacy condition monitoring systems.The portable and online systems simply did not provide early or reliable enough warning of bearing faults to avoid the catastrophic failures.
●The VC-8000/SETPOINT® system was selected for the task.Two case studies show how it was tailored to detect bearing faults at an early stage of development – continuously.It also provided vibration-temperature voting-logic protection,which ensured reliable protection without false trips for super-fast developing faults.End result?No more fires!The system has proven itself in service.
●Case study 1:Loss of lubrication to the pump
●Case study 2:Axial displacement of pump bearing
