CS35 Glycol injection pump gear coupling failure
G3610A is one of two pumps which injects Glycol into gas separators in order to remove any water. The normal process configuration is to have one pump running whilst another is on standby.
The running pump has vibration data collected as part of a monthly condition monitoring routine.
During a vibration survey a step change at the Pump NDE Vertical position was identified.
The findings of the vibration survey saved potential damage to the gearbox and pump. Taking this into account, the total cost of a gearbox and pump overhaul plus labour costs would have been around £20 000.
