    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
