Wasted effort on a 'piddling' goal; What is required is the present AC switchgear, the synchronous converters (know what those are for?) and the motor's stator's need to be dried out, a 'hipot' (literally: High Potential A/K/A voltage) test performed from ground to windings THEN put that gear back in service ...

Do a Google search on

THE A.B. WOOD LOW HEAD HIGH VOLUME SCREW PUMP

to get an idea of the efficincy and capability of the present pumps.

Or study these two documents posted by someone earlier:
