REMS/Flowserve team successfully finished API 610, OH2 pump modification project in petrochemical complex. Pump hydraulic has been modified in order to meet customer’s requirement for higher capacity, due to the process change. Suction and discharge nozzles position, as well as pump connection points to the base plate, remained the same (no need for pipelines or baseplate modifications). Old seal support system, water cooled, changed with a new API 53B/23 plan, air cooled (customer was facing a lot of problems with seal cooling due to bad quality of cooling water). Full scope of supply:
– Engineering (hydraulic calculations, design, Flowserve)
– Delivery of two new pumps, with modified hydraulics (Flowserve)
– Delivery of API 53B/23 seal support systems (Flowserve)
– Delivery of dual, metal bellow mechanical seals (Flowserve)
