    The hydraulic upgrade designed by Flowserve engineers significantly increased the pump's efficiency and eliminated recirculation issues. Modifications included replacing the impeller and machining the casing and suction end bracket to accept new wear rings. This improved the pump's operating point from 39% to 84% of best efficiency point, reducing energy costs by an estimated $9,000 annually and vibration by 90%.

    Hydraulic Upgrade Mitigates Recirculation and Reduces Energy Consumption


    ISO 13709/API 610 (BB2) Process Pump Upgrade
    The Challenge: A major oil refiner faced serious reliability and energy consumption issues with a
    critical refinery process pump due to a drastic change in operating requirements.
    Mechanical failures and poor efficiency were leading to high operating and
    maintenance costs as well as lost production time.

    The Solution: Flowserve engineers designed a hydraulic upgrade consisting of a new impeller and
    a volute modification which significantly increased pump efficiency while also elimi-
    nating the detrimental effects of recirculation.

    can lead to:
    • Increased axial and radial loads
    • Increased dynamic loading
    • Internal recirculation
    • Increased vibration
    These factors all contribute to premature
    bearing and mechanical seal failures, resulting
    in increased operating costs and decreased
    production.

    Bottom Line Impact


    For an investment of approximately USD 36 000, the customer
    was able to implement a complete hydraulic upgrade which
    improved the pump operating point to 84% of BEP. Energy
    savings alone were estimated at USD 9000 annually. In addition,
    the adverse effects of recirculation were eliminated with
    vibration levels reduced by 90%. This solution will eliminate
    persistent mechanical issues and unanticipated downtime.
