Our latest article in World Pumps Magazine discusses a case where advanced technology, targeted upgrades, and thinking outside the box helped a steel mill avoid costly downtime.
When facing repeated failures of their descale pumps, Hydro helped the mill salvage enough usable components from the failed pieces of equipment to return a fully functional, upgraded piece of equipment to service. By performing and in-depth root cause analysis and implementing material and design upgrades, the equipment has been transformed from a bad actor to a reliable piece of equipment.
Hydro’s Bob Jennings and Ken Babusiak joined Empowering Pumps’ Charli Matthews for an entertaining and informative podcast about pumps, steel, and the future of reliability-driven operations.
With decades of experience under their belts, Bob and Ken share how the tools, talent, and tech of the industry have evolved—and what that means for staying competitive in today’s fast-paced landscape. From strategies to retain young talent to the real value of learning and adaptation, this convo is loaded with wisdom.
