Speedy Propeller Repairs

The client was having issues with two of their recirculation pumps at their pumping station. A millwright was dispatched to site. The issues could not be resolved at site. The pumps were brought to Norcan’s shop for a conditional assessment. Each unit was completely disassembled and each component was thoroughly inspected. On the first unit, two areas of the propeller had suffered critical damage. A recommendation was made to install new seals, retaining rings and a new CIP bushing. On the second unit, the runner was found to have experienced severe cavitation. Furthermore, the runner seized due to corrosion in the connecting area. The runner needed to be replaced. Norcan worked with the client to implement the recommend changes and to get the pumps back in operation.
