Pacific FCC Bottoms for Refinery
Application: FCC Bottoms Pump for Refinery
Pump Details: Pacific 8x23 HVC
Pump Type: Radial Split Case
After pulling and inspecting this pump, which was down due to low flow, it was determined that the old chrome case was not repairable. Since this pump operates in parallel with a sister pump to produce the desired flow, when one pump is down, production is greatly reduced and the plant loses revenue.Because the lead-time on a new casing was 20 weeks, the refinery contacted Hydro for an alternate solution. Hydro reverse engineered the casing and worked with our alliance partner, Standard Alloys, to manufacture a replacement casing in only 14 weeks.
