01 / Project story
From Pump Solution to Service Partnership
After providing a customer in the oil and gas industry with a workable solution regarding a shear pump application, Fischer Process Industries was contracted as their primary supplier of pumps, as well as hired for valve repair and service. Our excellent service, product solutions, and rapid turnaround times led to an expanded service agreement, and for the last 5 years we have been handling of all the customers’ rotation equipment service and repair, as well applications engineering and engineering support responsibilities.
02 / Engineering approach
Equipment Audits & Standardization
In order to effectively serve this customer, we performed a complete rotating equipment audit, analyzing the pumps, mixers, and blowers throughout their Central Indiana facility. A standardization program was developed and implemented to improve equipment reliability (MTBF protocols), cost reductions, ease of maintenance, and improved efficiencies. Equipment we supply this customer include gear pumps, ANSI pumps, AODD pumps, ball valves, ECP lobe pumps, trash pumps, agitators, and mixers for the effective handling of materials including ethanol’s, solvents, and oil and gas products. We also provide training, dimensional drawings, and operation manuals when needed. For more about our service repair functionalities as well as our full process systems capabilities please see the table below or contact us directly.
