Reverse Engineering
We use our expertise in pump design to ensure that every part we manufacture is equal to or better than the original. That’s why we engage our engineering team to review every part we create, both in the reverse engineering stage and during an equivalency analysis after final machining. They ensure that all hydraulic geometry is correct and specify manufacturing tolerances that meet Hydro’s industry-leading standards.
Centaur Condition Monitoring
Centaur, Hydro’s IIoT condition monitoring system, combines expert knowledge and state-of-the-art technology, providing end-users with a solution that allows them to confidently assess the health of their rotating machinery. By combining a suite of sensors with advanced analytical software and oversight by dedicated subject matter experts, Centaur minimizes downtime by identifying potential equipment problems before they become failures.
Hydro University
With Hydro University, our mission is to ensure that pump users around the world have access to the knowledge required to optimize industrial operations and reduce maintenance costs. Our training services include hands-on, classroom, and on-demand course options.
Hydro Reliability Services
Hydro Reliability Services provides expert troubleshooting and on-site engineering services for your rotating equipment. Services include health audits, energy savings audits, field performance and vibration testing, and complex troubleshooting. Some of our analytical capabilities include experimental modal analysis, finite element analysis, operating deflection shapes, and system optimization studies.
Hydro Field Services
When a pump is critical to the operation of your plant, it is important to work with an experienced Field Service Team. Hydro’s Field Technicians have extensive cross-OEM knowledge, enabling them to work on many pump makes and models. Whether it is reboring a casing, providing technical support, or offering supervision to supplement your maintenance crew during an outage, you can count on Hydro for quality field and turnkey services.
IMPEL Interactive Maintenance Procedures
IMPEL is an interactive, digital maintenance platform that replicates pump design and installation to clearly illustrate each step of the maintenance procedure. This animated, step-by-step procedure provides a portable, easily deployed maintenance package usable for job planning, training, and in-field support documentation.
