A construction firm needed help identifying potential issues with future pump motor replacements at a water purification plant. MSI was called to conduct specialized vibration testing on the current units and to predict how a motor change and future variable frequency drive operation (VFD) would impact the system.

Water Purification Plant Pre-Construction Specialized Vibration Testing for Future Improvements
MSI was recommended to analyze flood control pumping station system dynamics, including evaluation of the platform design with regard to vibration.
A contractor putting together a water treatment facility encountered vibration issues with various pumps during commissioning.
A county water treatment plant heard “cavitation-like noise” from their newly installed pumps and called MSI for help.
MSI consultants solve difficult or urgent problems of vibration in machinery, taking into account the performance process parameters in critical rotating machinery and systems. MSI’s right-first-time, high-value solutions and clear reports are based on a 25-year track record of reliably solving the problem.
