Many pump startups are the culmination of months, if not years, of work to design the process, machine or system; specify components, instrumentation and protective devices; and review and qualify suppliers. It is also the most vulnerable time for any pump. Part I of this article describes cautions, reviews and inspections for three main components that should be conducted before startup to help ensure that gremlins of pumping systems are identified and eliminated. In a future issue, Part II will give additional tips on how to prevent delays and other, last-minute pointers to ensure successful startup of rotary pumps.

Part I of this article, in the October 2019 issue of Pumps & Systems, described cautions, reviews and inspections for three main components (piping and valves; foundation, alignment and rotation; and lubrication) that should be conducted before startup to ensure the issues that can arise with pumping systems are identified and eliminated. What follows is Part II, which reviews additional information on how to prevent delays and ensure the successful startup of rotary pumps.
It is a proven reality in chemical plants that the conditions in which pumps are running today often do not match the conditions for which they were intended originally. When formulations or end products change, a change upstream of the production process follows, as do the particulars of how a pump needs to perform. But preparing for this is often overlooked. In the new issue of Pumps and Systems, CIRCOR’s global twin-screw portfolio manager Jason Tomei examines this problem and walks through how flexible pump design and aftermarket support can set chemical plant operators up for success.
Mechanical seals are controlled leakage devices, not zero leakage devices. Read our new article, “The ABCs of Mechanical Seal Leaks and Impact on Thermal Fluid Operations,” and learn about the role of condition monitoring in helping MRO professionals gauge the fitness of the pumps on which seals perform their critical function.
