Dear All,
Client needs to move installed submersible pumps from one point to another and this will imply to lower the pressure losses and to work in probable cavitation.
Kindly ask if you know the operations to be done on centrifugal pumps in order to change pump's curve characteristics. I think something like as follows:

- Opening of the pump body
- Extraction of the cutter and centrifugal impeller
- The impeller will be sized and installed to achieve the performance as per the indicated curve
- Replacement of the cutter currently installed to adapt it to the new impeller
- Carrying out tests in workshop to verify compliance with the new performance curve
- Alignment and any additional tests

Can you please indicate if there are additional operations for reaching this goal? In particular regarding impeller?
Thank you in advance
