Problem & Solution Analysis

The Problem

Worn-out & Damaged CW Pump Components

Multiple components of the CW pump including casing, impeller, and shaft were severely worn and damaged. The pump was operating at reduced efficiency, causing inadequate cooling water flow to the condenser. The plant was at risk of reduced power generation capacity.

Our Solution

Comprehensive Refurbishment Process

We performed comprehensive refurbishment of all damaged components. The casing was repaired using metal stitching, the impeller was reconditioned, and the shaft was precision machined to original specifications. All components were restored to OEM standards using advanced repair techniques.
