8 Repairs
8.1 General
• The repair of vertical turbine pumping units is best handled by an experienced pump service center.
• Trillium Pumps USA has a worldwide network of service centers where skilled machinists and
mechanics can repair and rebuild any pump unit to “as-new” condition. For information regarding the
nearest service center, contact Trillium Pumps USA by email at, floway@trilliumflow.com.
• Eventually repairs will be required for the pump equipment. When maintenance checks, condition
monitoring, or other indications show that an overhaul is required, the necessary repairs should not be
delayed. Delay of repairs could lead to catastrophic failure, safety risks, and system down time.
• Major repairs typically consist of removal of the unit and disassembly to the point necessary for
replacement of worn out parts.
• Disassembly must be performed in a clean area with sufficient space to lay out the parts in order of
disassembly. Cleanliness during repairs is important as this is a close tolerance, high speed machine
and must be handled as such.
DANGER
LOCKOUT-TAGOUT (LOTO)
• Prior to allowing any checking, maintenance, or other work on the equipment, all
hazardous energy sources (for example, electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic,
etc.) must be isolated using an appropriate lockout-tagout procedure.
• Ensure that the intake and discharge openings are totally isolated from all potentially
pressurized connections and that they are, and can only be exposed to atmospheric
pressure.
• Drain the pump and isolate pipework before dismantling the pump. The appropriate
safety precautions must be taken when the pumped liquids are hazardous.
• Failure to follow appropriate LOTO procedures may result in serious personal injury or
death.
DANGER
LIFTING POINTS GIVING AWAY
Lifting points may be corroded and may not be fit for use. Always check for suitable
condition of lifting points and rigging prior to lifting equipment.
WARNING
PERSONNEL INJURY
• The pump must be installed, operated and maintained only by the personnel who are
trained and have sufficient knowledge about the hazards that may occur during the pump
operation and maintenance.
• A comprehensive risk assessment shall be conducted prior to performing any
maintenance or repair work on the equipment.
• Refer to the requirements in the driver, seal, and other auxiliary equipment IOMs prior to
beginning work.
