When faced with a pump that has experienced repeated failure, Hydro examines the repair history of the pump, reviewing factors such as the application and operating conditions as well as the physical findings of our detailed inspection to determine the root cause of the problem.Following a detailed inspection and analysis of this pump’s history, Hydro recommended that the original casing materials and casing wear rings be upgraded to resist both corrosive and erosive attack.
The upgraded materials combined with Hydro’s quality engineering and manufacturing resulted in a dramatic increase in MTBR for this pump. The oil producer was satisfied with the upgrades and sent seven additional pumps to Hydro for modification.
