A nuclear power plant’s generator stator cooling pumps had experienced random elevated vibrations during steady conditions since their installation in the 1980s. These typical vibration issues required fine tuning of the alignment to reduce the vibration down to acceptable levels after every outage.

A steam turbine at a waste-to-energy facility in the Northeast underwent a scheduled repair, at which time the turbine bearings were reworked, after which the turbine periodically experienced very high amplitude shaft vibrations.
A boiler feed pump (BFP) driven off of the main steam turbine via a fluid drive was experiencing high vibration levels leading to frequent replacement of the fluid drive bearings.
MSI was contracted to understand and help solve a high vibration problem on an aero-derivative gas turbine driven generator.
MSI solves difficult or urgent vibration, dynamics, or performance problems 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.
