Pump & Rotating Equipment Survey
A first step in developing a strategy to optimize seal life/increase MTBF, we will perform a pump and rotating equipment survey.
Why a Pump & Rotating Equipment Survey?
A professional pump and rotating equipment survey is carried out to ensure that mechanical seals and any existing seal support systems are correctly specified for actual process conditions. By reviewing operating parameters, equipment configuration, and current sealing performance, we identify opportunities to improve reliability, reduce failures, and optimize seal selection across your site.
How the Survey Works
Our survey process combines structured data collection, visual inspection, and engineering analysis to deliver practical, asset-specific recommendations.
Information GatheringWe collect detailed data for each asset, including equipment identification, process conditions, suction and discharge pressures, temperatures, shaft speed, equipment type and size, and the currently installed sealing solution. This structured data capture ensures every recommendation is based on real operating conditions, not assumptions. |
Visual InspectionOn-site visual inspection is a critical part of the survey process, helping identify installation issues, environmental factors, and early signs of wear or failure. These inspections support safer operation and are proven to improve uptime and extend the service life of pumps and rotating equipment. |
Generate SolutionsUsing the collected data and analysis, alongside the expertise of the AES Engineering Group, we develop optimized sealing and support system recommendations for each asset. These are delivered in a clear, actionable report, and we continue working with your maintenance and engineering teams to implement improvements and increase reliability. |
Information Gathering
We collect detailed operating and equipment data for each asset so recommendations are based on real process conditions.
Visual Inspection
On-site inspection helps identify installation issues, environmental factors, and early signs of wear or failure.
Generate Solutions
We provide clear, asset-specific recommendations to improve sealing performance and increase reliability.
Value-Added ServiceWe work closely with your site team throughout the survey process. A knowledgeable plant contact helps guide asset access and provide operational insight, ensuring accurate data collection. Our objective is not just assessment, but measurable improvement. By combining engineering expertise with real plant conditions, we help extend Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF), reduce unplanned downtime, and support long-term reliability improvements. |
Working with Your TeamPlant knowledge is essential to a successful survey. We collaborate with maintenance, engineering, and operations personnel to ensure every recommendation is practical, relevant, and aligned with site priorities. |
