1.Material Corrosion
Carbon steel pump bodies developed localized rust perforations within 3 months when handling chlorine-ion media (pH 2~3). Annual corrosion rate reached 0.8mm.
2.Seal Leakage
Seal failures occurred every 2,000 hours per pump. In 2018 alone, 47 lip-seal replacements led to material loss and 3 environmental penalties.
3.Offline Cleaning Disruptions
Solid particle buildup required pump disassembly and cleaning every 72 hours. Each 4-hour shutdown caused 3,200-ton annual production loss (over ¥5 million direct cost).
4.Costly Transnational Repairs
Parts shipment from Europe took 6~8 weeks on average. Single repair costs hit ¥82,000, with additional ¥230,000 for rental equipment during downtime.
