Pump applications for the petrochemical industry

Reliable, safe to operate and durable

For decades, Apollo has developed, manufactured, and supplied high-performance pumps and systems for demanding petrochemical processes. Its product portfolio includes specialized process pumps and system solutions tailored to the industry's complex requirements, from alkylation and solvent extraction to steam cracking and wastewater treatment. Apollo specializes in customized designs according to customer specifications, ensuring compliance with international standards such as API 610. These pumps and systems ensure maximum operational safety, reliability, and durability, even when handling corrosive, hot, or pressurized media. Apollo supports compliance with standards, guarantees quality, and ensures the continuous availability of your plants.

Customized process pump solutions for demanding applications in the petrochemical industry

Apollo has developed and manufactured over 40 specialized process pumps for an international petrochemical complex. This includes horizontal single-stage (OH2 according to API 610) and multi-stage (BB5 according to API 610) barrel pumps in a back-to-back design, as well as two-stage (BB2 according to API 610) process pumps with bearings on both sides.

Of particular note is the Apollo TGE: a reactor feed pump with an Apollo lubricating oil system for the gearbox, motor, and pump. It is mounted on a separate base plate and includes a pipe manifold for cooling the heat exchanger, a soundproofing hood, and a comprehensive monitoring system. This 12-stage, high-pressure pump can convey hydrocarbons (SRVGO and HCGO) at 260 °C to a delivery head of 2,650 meters, with a capacity of nearly 1 MW at 5,370 rpm.

These pumps convey various media, including used cooking oil (UCO) at 380 °C, hydrotreated heavy gas oil (HCGO), amine solutions, hydrocarbons, vacuum residues at 350 °C, and main fractionator bottom product at 340 °C containing solid particles (fine catalyst particles). To ensure maximum operational reliability, corrosion resistance, and heat resistance, materials such as S-6 or C-6, in accordance with API standards, were used.
