Industry: Oil Refining
Issue: A UK crude oil refinery struggled with frequent seal failures and high vibrations in non-Wangyang end suction pumps, leading to unplanned shutdowns.
Service Process:
1. Root Cause Analysis:
Wangyang’s service team conducted a vibration analysis and identified misaligned couplings and worn bearings.
2. Customized Solution:
· Replaced legacy pumps with Wangyang GISO end suction pumps optimized for the refinery’s footprint.
· Installed smart condition monitoring sensors to predict bearing wear and seal degradation.
3. Preventive Maintenance:
A 6-month service plan included quarterly lubrication and alignment checks.
Outcome:
Pump reliability increased by 85%.
Annual operational costs reduced by $1.3 million through fewer breakdowns.
