Why Sealless Magnetic Pumps are Ideal for the HF Alkylation Refining Process

The oil & gas industry is constantly innovating new methods of extracting, processing, and refining the raw materials necessary for the manufacturing of high-quality products. Hydrofluoric (HF) acid alkylation is a mission-critical refining process used to produce clean-burning, high-octane gasoline blending stock to help increase the fuel efficiency of car and truck engines.

What We Talk About When We Talk About API Magnetic Drive Pumps

When it comes to API pump applications, the most common challenge is identifying the most reliable and efficient way to pump liquid while also preventing the escape of harmful fluid or gas. Leakage of this kind can not only reduce the efficiency of the entire pump system, but also increase operational costs and pose danger to both the operator and the equipment. This is especially critical when pumping corrosive or volatile solutions.

Should You Switch from a Sealed to a Sealless Pump?

When engineers need to choose a pump, two broad categories come to mind: mechanically-sealed pumps and sealless magnetic drive pumps. And across industries, pumps with mechanical seals are seen far more commonly because not much is known about the sealless pump. But what’s the difference between these two varieties and what are the benefits to going sealless? This article will explain each and the advantages of going from sealed to sealless.
