5. CENTRIFUGAL PUMP
MAINTENANCE &
TECHNOLOGY
The Aim of this Program is to Enable the Engineers and
Technicians to:
•Identify the real problem areas
•Save wasted effort and time on unnecessary pump and/or motor repairs
•Quickly determine and a pump's hydraulic performance.
•Quickly determine if the problem is pump related or system related
•Correlate mechanical reliability & hydraulic performance
•Visually assess bearing & seal failures
•Properly install a pump
•Identify critical mechanical seal concerns
•Understand the essentials of bearings and lubrication
•Effect start-up and commissioning
•Know what to consider in variable speed drive applications
•Troubleshoot pump problems
•Know which pump records should be maintained for troubleshooting
•Identify symptoms and causes of pump failure.
The Program is Geared Towards:
Operators in any discipline, i.e. petrochemical, refining, public utilities,
manufacturing, process, packing, boiler, etc
Maintenance personnel
Quality Control Specialists
Technical Services
Craftsmen

PROFILE
Larry Bachus
Larry Bachus is the founder of Bachus Inc. Larry has more than 30-years of
experience in the industrial pump arena. His areas of expertise include
diagnosing pump problems and seal failure.
Larry was first exposed to pumps as a teenager, when he took a job as a mechanic
apprentice in a steel mill. In 1986, Larry went into the Navy and continued
working with pumps. After the military, he graduated from the University of
Alabama in Birmingham. For a number of years, Larry sold and repaired pumps
and pump parts while designing his own products and solutions to pump
problems.
Today, Larry travels the United States and the World lecturing on pumps. He
speaks fluent English and Spanish, and can conduct his courses and consultations
in both languages and has authored books and technical papers on pumps. The
book is a practical guide to understanding pumps.
Larry has earned the reputation of quot;THE PUMP GUYquot;. Larry writes the quot;PUMP
GUYquot; column in Energy Tech Magazine and World Pump Magazine and their
respective websites. The Pump Guy articles are available at these sites. He is also
a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, (ASME), and most of
his products find application in civil and mechanical engineering.
A number of years ago, while working in a petro-chemical plant, Larry
encountered some premature mechanical seal failure, linked to the o-rings
installed in the mechanical seals. In collaboration with some intelligent associates,
trips to the library, and a chance witnessing of his young daughter bouncing a
rubber ball in the house, Larry hit upon the seeds of the tool that broke the code
on O-Ring identification. Today that tool is called the ORID*. ORID* is an
acronym meaning O-Ring Identifying Device.
The ORID* performs a non-destructive field test of an O-Ring seal to indicate its
rubber compound and compatibility with a fluid, gas, or solid. This tool, sold
around the world, is instrumental in preventing leaks in process leaks in process
equipment, and protecting leaks in process equipment, and protecting the
environment.
