Compressor Rebuilds
TA-9000 Emergency Repair: Back in the Game in Five Weeks
A second-stage failure took a hard-working TA-9000 out of service while rental compressors burned expensive diesel. Here is how The Fischer Group got it back online in five weeks.
When these larger compressors go sideways, they can do it quickly, and the consequences can be significant. This TA-9000 had been running under less-than-ideal maintenance conditions, mostly because of the constant demands of production. Critical maintenance was not always done within the recommended intervals, and over time the equipment began to pay the price.
Even so, this is an exceptionally robust compressor. It took a major mechanical failure to put it on the sidelines, but a second-stage failure was enough to take it out of service and create an immediate production problem.
Every day of downtime had a price
Rental compressors came in to keep production running, and with diesel prices at historic highs, every extra day of downtime carried a real financial cost. The bill for temporary capacity was adding up fast, which made a quick and lasting recovery more important than ever.
That is where The Fischer Group and our team of experienced service professionals came in.
Five weeks to recovery
Just five weeks later, after an enormous amount of effort, coordination, troubleshooting, rebuilding and testing, this TA-9000 was back in the game and once again supporting those ever-present production requirements. Our team worked with urgency and purpose to restore reliable operation while also addressing the underlying issues that caused the failure.
