Summary
A mining company in Namibia was experiencing persistently low pressure in its gland service water system. This was causing excessive wear on the shaft sleeves, which were having to be changed two or three times each month, and meant that the slurry pump had to be taken offline, isolated and stripped in order to replace the shaft sleeve and gland packing.
