Title: United Refineries using ITT condition monitoring system

United Refineries entire network of stations is supplied by the company’s modern, recently expanded refinery in Warren, Pennsylvania.

Following this incident, the United Refining team investigated the concept of hooking up their critical pumps to a continuous condition monitoring system, which would give them early notice of any potential operating problem. They called in ITT to install a ProSmart system on the LVGO pump as well as on two vital electric vacuum bottoms pumps.
