Observation
Vibration levels were increasing at the pump drive-end bearing, indicating a potential lubrication issue or developing bearing defect.
Recommendation
The CME recommended greasing the pump bearings and monitoring for any changes in vibration levels to determine if lubrication would improve the condition.
Resolution
After greasing the pump bearings, acceleration levels decreased by approximately 40%, confirming lubrication as the primary issue. Vibration stabilized following the correction, and the alert was resolved.
