The average Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) for pumps hovers between 2.5 to 6 years, while the best-in-class ones can go up to 10 years. However, not all pumps meet the mark. "Bad actors“-underperforming, failure-prone pump can negatively impact uptime, reliability, and cost efficiency. Safety, which is of paramount importance  could be undermined as well.

Adding to the overall cost pressures are manhour costs, associated procurement and administrative overheads while In one striking example, a refinery incurred a staggering $6 million in maintenance costs to repair 700+ bad actor pumps out of a 1,012-pump fleet.

With aging assets,, increasing regulatory scrutiny and demand for asset life-extension, identifying and mitigating bad actors is no longer just a maintenance concern—it’s a strategic imperative.

Join our upcoming technical webinar where Sulzer’s pump experts, drawing from decades of OEM-agnostic expertise, will explore”

• Root causes for chronic pump failures

• Proven preventive maintenance strategies and diagnostic technologies 

• Advancing across 4 stages of maturity for maintenance

• Real-world case studies from O&G and Power generation

• Tailored solution that restores pump to peak performance with reduced life-cycle costs

Learn how your facility can move beyond an MTBF of 1.5, 2.7, or 3.9 years and join the ranks of plants that now demonstrate pump MTBFs as high as 8-10 years.
