Total vibration energy on Pump NDE breached the threshold and exceeded levels not seen over last 6 months of operations for this pump.
The vibration spectrum analysis showed a predominant increase in vane pass frequencies of 5x (and its 2nd harmonic at 10x due to fluid changeover process)
Real-Time Monitoring of assets by shoreline AI
The customer checked and found that during the pump/fluid changeover, the pump ran with high vibration for 30 minutes and then returned to its normal operation cycle.
After the customer visualized the impact of vibration during changeovers, they planning to develop a more effective method for executing changeovers to reduce the higher vibrations
Shown here is an alarm raised by the Shoreline AI APM/PdM platform.
An abrupt change in Pump NDE bearing during process / fluid changeover
Spectrum on the left shows amplified energy levels 5X pump vane pass frequency from pump NDE bearings during the operations operation’s changeover of pump/fluid
Customer was informed about the effect of changeover results in higher vibration at Vane pass
Spectrum on the right shows reduced energy levels 5X pump vane pass frequency from pump NDE bearings during the normal operations operation’s 30 min post changeover
Spectrum charts below indicate the before and after repairs.
Amplified Energy levels on the pump 5X when the pump or fluid changeover
Reduced Energy levels on the pump 5X 30 min post pump/process changeover
Real time / Historical trend data helps the customer to understand the behavior of pump and timely alarm helps them optimize their the changeover procedure, thereby preventing a disruptive, expensive plant shutdown.
