Recondition Of Flood Pumps and Sludge Pumps as Effort To Increase Fluid Flow Pressure

Abstract

Even the pump house guards or workers must be on standby in dealing with this hydrometeorological disaster. One of them is the existence of flood prevention infrastructure such as pump houses. Pumps have to accelerate water transfer from puddles to the sea or river. A reliable standard pump can suck 1,5 m3/second. Very different from the current condition of the pump house, after being surveyed and inspected, its suction capacity is only 0,5 m3/second. The research method used to restore pump performance uses the ISMO (inspection, minor repair, medium repair overhaul) maintenance method. It is necessary to identify the damage to the pump and carry out maintenance of all components that have less than-optimal functions. The results of the maintenance implementation stage and the inspection results require periodic cleaning, repairs to the nearest drainage filter and a setting on the pump. At the same time, the overhaul activity is carried out by dismantling the installation's shaft, bearing, and impaler components. In contrast, the discharge nozzle requires setting the fluid pressure to increase to 1,3 m3/second.
