Incident Narrative
PIT 8 PUMP SEAL FAILED DUE TO EXCESSIVE VIBRATION AND THE PUMP WAS NOT SIZED CORRECTLY. PUMP IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED IN HOUSE SO COST IS STILL BEING DETERMINED. THE PUMP THAT WAS REMOVED WILL NOT BE RE-INSTALLED. A FLOW-THRU HEAD HAS BEEN INSTALLED ON THE PUMP CAN SO PRODUCT FLOWS THROUGH THE PIPE AND BOOSTS FLOW WITH A BOOSTER PUMP FURTHER DOWNSTREAM.
