Abstract

A centrifugal pump is an essential mechanical device in the Regional Drinking Water Company (PDAM) to distribute sterile water from the reservoir to local community houses by flowing the fluid through the pipeline. However, improper and inadequate maintenance of centrifugal pumps can result in component damage, including bearings that are broken, ripped, or damaged mechanical seals. Therefore, for the water supply to continue smoothly, proper maintenance needs to be carried out so that the engine's performance will be maintained and last longer. This study aims to conduct a maintenance analysis on centrifugal pumps utilized by the PDAM of Madiun City. The Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) method was employed to assess the potential failure of a system, design, process, or service by implementing a systematic approach to analyze damage and devise maintenance strategies. The FMEA analysis revealed that the shaft of the centrifugal pump component had the highest Risk Priority Number (RPN) value, which amounts to 294. The wearing ring had the lowest RPN value among the centrifugal pump components, with a value of 54. The Pareto diagram results classified six components: shaft, clutch, stuffing box, motor, impeller, and mechanical seal to recommend preventative maintenance action. Additionally, three other components suggested for corrective maintenance were the bearing, packing, and wearing rings
