Pumps in oxygen scavenging
Published: 13 March, 2015
Following site trials pumping aggressive oxygen scavenging chemicals, Occidental Petroleum in Oman reports it has approved Hydra-Cell pumps, from WANNER INTERNATIONAL, for use in one of its most demanding applications.
Dissolved oxygen in injection water can cause destructive oxygen corrosion to metal pipes and process equipment. By-products of this corrosion form sludges that cause plugging and blockages. This oxygen is generally removed through the introduction of oxygen scavenging chemicals into the high-pressure stream.
Oxygen scavenging chemicals such as sodium and ammonium bisulfites are renown for damaging pumps. Occidental Petroleum had trialled several types of pumps and all were found wanting, the majority springing leaks through dynamic seals in a matter of days or weeks. A Hydra-Cell P200 with mechanical speed control has however solved the problem.

WANNER INTERNATIONAL has announced it will display its full range of Hydra-Cell diaphragm Process and Metering pumps at Achema 2018 on Stand D51 with the theme: “Hydra-Cell seal-less pump technology… It’s different” and says the unique and advantageous differences will be highlighted with product displays, working demonstrations and cutaway pump models.
WANNER INTERNATIONAL has introduced the Hydra-Cell Intelligent High Pressure Coolant Pump that it claims can save machine tool operators up to 70% of their pump energy costs.
WANNER INTERNATIONAL has announced it has launched a new range of Hydra-Cell. Seal-less, high horsepower, quintuplex diaphragm pumps that it claims eliminates the expense associated with seals and packing, leakage, external lubrication, and emissions.
WANNER INTERNATIONAL says its exclusive new "Control Freak" electronic controller provides motor speed control for Hydra-Cell Metering Solutions pumps (or Hydra-Cell bare shaft pumps in metering applications) and is able to control multiple pumps with Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) from a single point and because motor speed is directly proportionate to flow rate in a Hydra-Cell pump, high accuracy can be achieved through the use of VFDs.
