We have seen some problems with our rotary pumps wearing out faster than normal. The guess is that there are entrained sedament problems in the oil...although BS&W tests are passing. We will be looking to replace a 12 stage pump with an 8 stage to see if this will resolve or lessen the wear.

I have an email into the vendor to get their opinion, but any comments or advise would be muchly appreciated.
