Sulzer (Switzerland): process centrifugal pump and service rotating equipment since 1834

Sulzer is the name associated with process pumping for oil, gas, electricity, water and chemical industries. The group originated in 1834 in Winterthur, Switzerland.

What does Sulzer do in the pump industry?

According to the company's introduction, Sulzer focuses on pump solutions, rotating equipment and services for oil, gas, electricity, water and process industries. Sulzer's process pumps often appear in petrochemical refineries and facilities that require high reliability.

Service rotating equipment: the remaining half of the value

With large-capacity pumps, the biggest cost is not in the first purchase but in the maintenance and repair for many years.So the major companies are focused on services: major repair of pumps, rotor balance, replacement of circuits, hydraulic upgrades to increase performance and extend life.

What is API 610?

API 610 (equivalent to ISO 13709) is the centrifugal pump standard for petroleum gas and petrochemicals. OH2 pumps (hanging, setting centrifugal) are the most common type in oil refineries; BB pumps (between two axles) for high flow, pressure and capacity; VS pumps (stand, hang) for hole collection. Specific requirements include hydraulic testing 1.5 times the maximum working pressure, vibration and break limit according to API 682.

Frequently asked questions.

Do I need an API 610 pump for every chemical plant?

No. With hazardous environment, low pressure, ISO 5199 pumps are generally more economical. API 610 is for harsh conditions.

What is hydraulic upgrade?

Is replacing the pump wing and flow details with new designs that are more optimized to increase performance or meet the changed workpoint.
