Read how SAM4 alerted this water industry customer to debris that had started to clog this wastewater collection pump’s intake.
Failure mode
Debris clogging this municipal water pump’s intake caused it to start cavitating.
How SAM4 helped
SAM4 flagged a sudden increase in the noise floor around the pump’s supply frequency, which continued over the next few days. We contacted the customer to let them know something appeared to have thrown the pump into sustained cavitation; based on earlier detections, we suspected the pump might be clogged. Ten days later the customer removed debris that was clogging the pump’s intake, and the pump returned to normal operation.
Outcome
“This is one of many such situations SAM4 has alerted us to, which is always a real help in our ability to take timely action.”
