Wilo Releases New Horizontal Split Case Pumps

The reactor circulation pump pays a decisive role in the catalytic cleaning process in diesel and biodiesel production. The high system pressures and temperatures prevailing in the desulphurisation process demand maximum safety and reliability of the used equipment.

For several years, a pump at the largest production site in Kingsport, Tennessee, USA had been causing the US chemical company Eastman problems: it was operating on a process with water at high temperature and low pressure, generating the entrainment of more than 10% gas by volume in the form of water vapor. This often caused the pumps used to fail.

High energy pumps are used throughout many industries, one of those industries being the petrochemical industry. As important assets, they are designed to provide reliability while maintaining their designed efficiency for many years.

Siemens is presenting Sitrans SCM IQ, a new Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solution for Smart Condition Monitoring, at the Hannover Messe 2021. It enables potential incidents to be detected and prevented at an early stage, thus reducing maintenance costs and downtimes, and increasing plant performance by up to ten percent.
