Product Description

The Chemical Process Pump is a heavy-duty centrifugal pump engineered per API 610 standards for demanding chemical and petrochemical applications. Its robust back-pull-out design allows maintenance without disconnecting piping, while the centerline-mounted casing accommodates thermal expansion at elevated temperatures. With flow rates up to 2,000 m³/h and temperatures to 200°C, this pump handles corrosive and hazardous fluids with reliable mechanical seal systems and material options including cast steel, 304/316L stainless, and duplex alloys.

Applications

  • Petrochemical plants
  • Chemical processing
  • Oil & gas refining
  • Power generation
  • Pharmaceutical manufacturing
  • Water treatment

Quality Assurance

All Chemical Process Pumps are manufactured under ISO 9001 quality management system. Each pump undergoes rigorous testing including hydrostatic pressure test, performance test, NDT inspection, and dynamic balance verification before shipment. We provide comprehensive documentation including test reports, material certificates, and operation manuals.

Why Choose Our API 610 Process Pumps

ISO 2858 Standard Interchangeability

Standardized mounting dimensions per ISO 2858 / EN 22858, ensuring dimensional interchangeability between manufacturers. Simplifies replacement of existing installed base without piping modifications.

Multiple Material Configurations

Available in cast iron, 304, 316L, duplex stainless, and Hastelloy C wetted parts, covering chemical services from mild acids to highly corrosive chloride-containing solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a chemical process pump used for?

Chemical process pumps are designed to handle corrosive, abrasive, and hazardous fluids in chemical manufacturing, petrochemical refining, and pharmaceutical production. They ensure safe, leak-free transfer of acids, bases, solvents, and reactive chemicals.

What materials are used for chemical process pump wetted parts?

Common materials include 304/316 stainless steel, Hastelloy, duplex stainless steel, and fluoroplastic-lined (PTFE/PFA) constructions. Material selection depends on fluid chemistry, temperature, and concentration.

How do I select the right chemical process pump?

Consider fluid corrosivity, required flow rate and head, temperature range, solids content, and seal requirements. Our engineers can help specify the correct material and seal configuration based on your process data.

Can chemical process pumps handle high-temperature fluids?

Yes, with appropriate material selection and cooling arrangements. High-temperature models can handle fluids up to 350°C (662°F) with special seal flush plans and metal bellows seals.

Selection Guide

✅ When to Choose This Pump

  • Refinery and petrochemical process service
  • High-temperature (above 150C) hydrocarbon pumping
  • Critical service requiring API 610 compliance
  • High-pressure injection and transfer duties

⚠️ When NOT to Choose

  • Low-pressure water utility service (over-specified)
  • Strong acids requiring fluoroplastic lining
  • Solids-laden slurries (requires slurry pump)
  • Below-grade sump applications (use vertical sump)

💡 Common Selection Mistakes

  • Ignoring NPSH calculation for hot hydrocarbons
  • Using single seal for toxic/flammable service
  • Not specifying centerline mounting for >150C
  • Under-sizing motor for specific gravity >1.0
