Study Notes
Case Study: Efficiency Improvement Coating to HSC Pump
- Client: Municipal Corporation in Maharashtra, India
- Pump Details: Mather and Platt HSC Pump 36/36 DV
- Application Date: January 2015
Scope of Work
- Grit blasting to ISO 8501-Cleanliness Standard SA 2/2
- Applying Polyglass VEHA + Fluiglide coating
- Dynamic balancing of the impeller after coating work as per ISO 21940
- Pump performance testing before and after coating
Product
- Corroglass 602, Polyglass VEHA, & Fluiglide
The Solution
- A project optimized a 30+ year-old Mather and Platt horizontal split-case pump (36/36 DV)
- The pump had heavy pitting marks inside the casing and suction cavitation marks on the impeller
- The focus was on enhancing efficiency through corrosion protection and efficiency improvement coating technology
Conclusion
- The Efficiency Improvement Coating project successfully enhanced the pump's efficiency
- Resulting in significant energy and cost savings for the Municipal Corporation
Data (Before Coating/After Coating)
- Flow (m³/hr): 9031.3 / 9071.7
- Head (m): 17.3 / 17.36
- Power (kW): 568.10 / 528.20
- Efficiency (%): 74.90 / 82.18
