Ingersoll Rand Charge for Refinery
Application: Charge Pump for Refinery
Pump Details: Ingersoll Rand 4x11 DA 8-Stage
Pump Type: Multi-Stage Horizontal Split Case
A refinery’s charge pump crashed as a result of a run dry event. The pump’s case was severely distorted due to the heat generated during this event. The plant required an emergency turnaround to get the pump back on line as soon as possible.To expedite delivery, the refinery supplied a spare rotor while Hydro was asked to focus on casing repairs. Responding to these emergency requirements, Hydro organized a 24/7 production schedule including a holiday weekend.
Hydro inspectors worked around the clock, first performing our comprehensive inspection, then weld repairing the casing to restore all the dimensions to required specifications.
