Refining & Petrochemical Industry Safe and reliable handling of fluid is vital in today’s hydrocarbon processing plants. Complex refining techniques generate a broad range of shaft sealing challenges. A growing focus on environmental stewardship demands continuous innovation in process containment. Flowserve’s commitment to technology development has produced sealing solutions for: • Zero emissions on services containing volatile hazardous air pollutants • Specialized applications including viscous refinery bottoms, polymerizing fluids, and flammable gases • Corrosive, caustic, acidic, sour and...

Chemical Industry Modern chemical plants produce a tremendous variety of products over a wide range of operating conditions. Next to safe handling of toxic products, good corrosion resistance, reliability and low cost are of great importance. Critical needs are: • Resistance to highly corrosive liquids • A wide range of materials of construction • Resistance to abrasive substances • Ability to stand up under highly toxic, volatile and flammable fluid service • Low leakage rates or zero product leakage • Low cost but durable designs for stuffing box retrofits • Maximum interchangeability of components...

Power Industry As generating stations continue to increase in size, out- put and complexity, sealing devices with an ever-greater range of speed, pressure and temperature capability are required. In hot water applications, these factors create difficult lubrication conditions between the seal faces requiring specialized solutions in materials, cooling fea- tures, and seal face features to achieve long mechanical seal life. In the critical sealing of boiler feed and boiler circulation water, Flowserve continues to innovate new technology to optimize and extend performance. Station operators turn...

Pipeline Industry Pipelines are an economical and reliable way to transport large quantities of liquid when the unique characteristics of the complete system are addressed. Pipelines move fluids within the natural resource recovery region, transport raw products to refineries, and transfer refined products to distribution points. Operators may use batch type transport to send various refined products ranging from fuel oils to Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), often at varying pressures through a single pipeline. Supercritical fluids which normally exist as gases, such as ethane, CO2, and natural gas...

Pulp & Paper Industry Paper stock, black liquor, chlorine, coating mixes, pumps, refiners, screens and agitators are common in the pulp and paper industry. Processing wood or waste paper and transforming it into paper or board requires cutting, grinding, cleaning, bleaching and de-watering operations. Reduction of energy and water usage is important to reduce operating cost. Flowserve has developed advanced seals and sealing systems that can help you reduce your plant's water, energy and maintenance costs: • Resistance to highly corrosive liquids • Resistance to abrasive substances • A wide range...

Mineral and Ore Processing Industry Alumina, cement, clay, coal, copper, gold, gypsum, mineral sands, nickel, phosphate, potash, silver, trona, taconite, titanium, zinc; whatever the process, mineral and ore can represent one of the toughest machinery and sealing environments around. Taking raw material from the earth and refining finished mineral products requires rugged equipment capable of surviving abrasive and corrosive services, often at extreme pressures and temperatures. Flowserve delivers advanced sealing systems to decrease maintenance expenditures, limit or eliminate water usage, maintain...
