Electric Feed Pumps
By Hydro AustraliaA 2000 MW power plant located near Melbourne, Australia, was experiencing severe problems with their Ingersoll Rand 65CHTA-4 boiler feed pumps. Repairs lasted less than one year and plant availability was at record low levels.

After a number of transcontinental phone calls, the plant decided to send an element to Hydro for evaluation and repair.
