Full Description

For the past fifteen years the water utility industry has become more and more dependent on computers and high technology equipment and techniques to assist in the maintenance of water treatment plants, pump stations and ancillary facilities. This paper deals with this equipment and the concept of Predictive Maintenance. It outlines a methodology by which impending failures in rotating machinery (pumps, turbines, mixers, HVAC, generators) and electric equipment (motors, transformers, contractors, relays, batteries) can be detected and avoided. The concept of Predictive Maintenance changes a program that is reactive into one that operates in a pro-active mode which is dictated by the quantification and analysis of known physical parameters.
