Installation
• 3 stage BB3 type
• Water injection service (1200 GPM @ 2650 ft)
• Driven through gearbox by natural-gas engine
• 3560 to 6000 RPM continuous operating speed range

Problem
Vibration Performance• High bearing housing and casing vibrations showed after
the pumps were relocated and put into a new service
(Ran fine in previous life)
• Same problem with 3 identical units
• Horizontal vibration (~0.6 in/sec) at or above 5200 RPM
• Not able to reach full speed (6000 RPM)

Root Cause Analysis
PIH
Structural Resonance – Impact Testing
Impact tests show a horizontal structural resonance at
approximately 85 Hz (5100 cpm) on
pump inboard and outboard end

Root Cause Analysis
Pump Lateral Rotordynamics
• High speed operation. (6000 RPM)
• Heavy coupling. (~100 lbs total)
• Long shaft span at drive end.
• Nearest seal is eye of suction impeller.

Root Cause Analysis
Overhung mode critical speed (~4700 RPM)
Low damping
Large coupling orbit

Root Cause Analysis
• Replace coupling
• Lateral stability improved
Recommendations

Root Cause Analysis
Add gussets / struts
Box the pedestals
Predicts increase in natural frequency

Implementation
Bracing added to all four pedestals (as piping allowed)
![Page 12: BB3 Structural Vibration Problem Resolved Using Analytical ......BB3 Structural Vibration Problem Resolved Using Analytical Methods 25 th International Pump Users Symposium Michael](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022011910/5f7ac1f9ce52ab033e7e8349/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Implementation
Drive-end pedestals also
'Boxed' to reduce twisting

Implementation
Coupling Changes• Original – 48 lbs (pump-side)
• Profiled – 36 lbs (pump-side)
• Field Balanced• Entirely new
13 lbs (pump-side)

Lessons Learned
• Avoid unnecessarily heavy couplings.
• Open communication facilitates root cause analysis.
• Fix problems when found, as found.
• Relocating equipment and/or changing services –including speed range – can result in vibration issues.
