Topic: Covid-19 and maintenance
Due to reduced demand of distillates many refineries are operating
at lower utilization rates. Some refineries are using this period
to schedule their maintenance activities.
Pump systems are one of the focal areas. To quote Robert X. Perez
from his Operator’s Guide to Centrifugal Pumps (2018) “seals are
the weakest link of all centrifugal pumps components”. Reason why
seal flush plans do have special attention.
For API Plan 62 pumps, an increased demand for the Steamquench Optimizer
indicates the need to be prepared for the hopefully soon re-start
of refinery operations.

Note: all Optimizers from march 2020 will be sealed at our shop
before shipping. This instruction is only for Optimizers shipped
before march 2020.
