In 2016, a waterhammer event occurred at an alumina refinery which caused a slurry pump to catastrophically fail. Like many engineering failures, this one was a result of several independent issues combining in time and space to cause a catastrophic failure. This webinar will review the event, root cause of the failure, and guidance on best practices engineers could incorporate in their surge mitigation plans to proactively prevent waterhammer incidents.
