Product Description

The Petrochemical Process Pump is an API 610 OH1/OH2 overhung centrifugal pump purpose-built for refinery and petrochemical services. Its centerline-mounted casing handles thermal growth at process temperatures up to 400°C, while the heavy-duty shaft and bearing assembly ensures long life under high-pressure conditions. With flow rates to 2,600 m³/h and heads to 260 m, this pump manages hydrocarbon transfer, reactor feed, and light-end services. Material options include cast steel, alloy steel, and duplex for corrosive process streams.

Applications

  • Oil refineries
  • Petrochemical complexes
  • Natural gas processing
  • LNG terminals
  • Crude oil transfer
  • Hydrocarbon processing

Quality Assurance

All Petrochemical 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

Petrochemical Service Optimized

Designed specifically for petrochemical process duties including naphtha transfer, gas oil circulation, reflux service, and reactor feed, with material selection per NACE MR0175 for sour service.

High-Temperature Capability

Centerline mounting option for services above 150°C, with carbon steel or alloy casing rated for continuous operation up to 350°C in hydrocarbon and thermal oil service.

Seal Flush Plan Support

Pre-configured seal flush plans (Plan 11, 21, 23, 32, 53A/B/C) with all piping and instrumentation included, ready for installation per API 682 requirements.

Low Vibration Operation

Precision-balanced rotating assembly (ISO 1940 Grade G2.5) and rigid shaft design ensure vibration levels below 2.8 mm/s RMS at BEP, extending bearing and seal life.

Frequently Asked Questions

What standards apply to petrochemical process pumps?

API 610 is the primary standard for petrochemical centrifugal pumps. API 682 governs mechanical seals. Pumps may also need compliance with API 674 (positive displacement) and ATEX for explosive atmospheres.

What materials are used for petrochemical pumps?

Carbon steel, 316 stainless steel, duplex stainless, and Alloy 20 are common. For sour service (H2S), NACE MR0175-compliant materials are required. High-chrome iron for abrasive hydrocarbon services.

Can petrochemical pumps handle high-temperature crude oil?

Yes, API 610 BB2 and BB5 pumps are designed for high-temperature hydrocarbon service up to 425°C. They feature centerline-mounted casings, special seal flush plans, and cooling systems.

What is the difference between API 610 and ISO 5199 pumps?

API 610 pumps have heavier casings, higher pressure ratings, stricter material requirements, and more rigorous testing. ISO 5199 pumps are lighter-duty and suitable for less critical chemical applications.

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
