Ingersoll Rand Chemical Processing
Application: Chemical Processing
Pump Details: Ingersoll Rand 4x11 CA 8-Stage
Pump Type: Barrel
When a chemical plant expanded their production, they elected to source a surplus pump rather than purchasing a new pump. Delivery of a new pump would have taken six to eight months, but they wanted to be on line in just 44 days!Only Hydro offered a credible solution to what was both a challenging engineering problem and an intensely demanding production schedule. After a thorough engineering review and inspection of the pump, Hydro shortened the barrel of the surplus pump and de-staged the pump from eight stages to five.
Hydro also offered upgrades to improve the pump's performance and reliability. Once the project was completed, Hydro tested the pump and provided a certified performance curve showing that the modifications and upgrades produced the specified head and flow of 740 gallons/minute at 1500 feet.
