Hydrogen recycle gas compressors are one of the most significant rotating equipment in oil refineries, petrochemical plants and upgraders.
The most vital information on the condition of boiler feedwater (BFW) pumps is vibration.
Mean time between repairs (MTBR) is an index for judging the performance of a specific piece of equipment.
Selecting mechanical seals for hot services in an oil refinery or petrochemical plant is always a challenging task—and it is a task that needs careful attention, since the wrong seal selection can have a significant impact on pump reliability and availability.
