Vibration Analysis of Water and Wastewater Treatment Facilities

Provide vibration analysis services for existing potable water, wastewater and reclaimed water facilities owned and operated by PCU. Facilities in the scope of services include water treatment plants (including remote well sites), wastewater treatment plants, reclaimed water facilities, master lift stations, and remote storage and/or pumping facilities. These systems incorporate prime movers including diesel and gasoline fired engines that provide the power for the rotating machinery. These prime movers and corresponding power transmission units vary in horsepower, manufacturer, and configuration throughout PCU’s facilities. Services are required for the predictive maintenance of this rotating equipment for all designated PCU facilities. Equipment will include but is not limited to pumps, blowers, mixers, motors, and drive shafts at the locations listed in Attachment “A”. The purpose of the vibration analysis program is to support accurate machinery condition assessments. Engineering limits for the physical parameters must be established so that pending problems can be detected during routine monitoring. Predictive maintenance compares the trends of measured physical parameters against established limits to aid analysis, detection and correction of problems before failure occurs.
