Centrifugal Process Pumps

in barrel-type design Multi-Stage
RUHRPUMPEN use their ADC Barrel pump for the
Hydraulic Decoking service. The ADC pumps line
can pump fluids up to 400 m3/h (1,760 gpm) and
a height of 4.000 m (13,120 ft). These pumps
are mainly used as Water-Injection-Pumps and
Jet Pumps for hydraulic decoking in refineries.
The pumps are of significantly robust and stiff
construction. They are built according to the API
610, last Edition. There are special modifications
for the individual working conditions.

The pump is mostly direct driven by a motor;

higher speeds are achievable through a drive by
a gear box or a steam turbine. Lube Oil System
according to API 610 and/or 614 is included in
the system as a standard component.

Description:
Horizontal, multi-stage, single suction barrel-type
centrifugal pump, with radially split casing, cen-
treline mounted, axial thrust balancing by means
of balance piston, shaft sealings by means of
mechanical seal or soft packing, with or without
cooling, bearing brackets on both sides. Com-
plete pull out version available.

Flanges: Top/Top; Side/Top.

Design according to API 610.

Bearings:
Forced-feed oil lubricated axial and radial
bearings as sleeve bearings, oil supply by
lube oil pump driven by the pump shaft and/or
separate lube oil unit.

Standard Materials:
Casing forged carbon or alloy steel
Impeller cast steel, alloy steel
Pump shaft alloy steel
Other materials on request.
