A few days ago Marcos Daniel Martinez Perez reminded me of KIS - Keep It Simple. Years ago, after presenting our team’s findings and recommendations following an assessment of a manufacturing plant, the VP of a multi-billion dollar corporation remarked, "Those are not sophisticated solutions." To which I replied, "You don't have sophisticated problems." Often, people focus on implementing complex solutions to gain a mere 2% increase in productivity, but they overlook the basics that can provide 40% improvements with minor adjustments and minimal to no investment. It’s essential to address fundamental issues first, as they often hold the key to substantial and cost-effective enhancements. #BusinessEfficiency #LeanThinking #ContinuousImprovement

Do you have enough NPSHa for your old pumps? Hydraulic Institute Standard 9.6.1 (2017) is the pump industry standard for defining the NPSHa needed to keep pumps operating reliably. While the standard offers many recommendations, it does fall short in a few key areas. One of those is providing guidance on the effect of pump internal wear on NPSH3 (NPSHr), specifically as running clearances at wear rings increase over time. The standard mentions it in the quoted text below but doesn’t quantify how much more NPSHa you might need as your pump wears: “Extra margin may be necessary to account for changes in the pump geometry that can increase NPSH3. For example, erosion can enlarge impeller running clearances and increase the internal leakage at the impeller eye, adversely affecting the NPSH3.” Part of the reason for the lack of actionable advice is the relative lack of experimental studies on the effect on pump NPSH3 due to the effects of normal wear. One of the few studies that have been made found that once the impeller internal wear ring clearances reached 2x API 610 clearances (2x clearances are assumed to be “end of life”), there was a noticeable increase in pump NPSH3 of between 5% to 21% If we refer back to Hydraulic Institute Standard 9.6.1 (2017), we find that the recommended NPSH margin for the vast majority of pumps operating in the POR (Preferred Operating Region) is 1.05 to 1.1 - i.e., NPSHa is just 5% to 10% above NPSH3. From this, we can conclude that By the time "end-of-life clearances" are reached, there is a significant probability that the pump is operating with fully developed cavitation, resulting in reduced pump head and efficiency as well as increased vibration and cavitation wear. This may not be an issue for pumps in uncritical service; however, it is something the operator should be aware of and monitor for critical service pumps.
