▼  Industry Background

石化与炼油0



Petrochemical and refining units operate under extreme conditions—temperatures ranging from ambient to 500°C, pressures from atmospheric to 20 MPa, and media spanning crude oil to concentrated sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide. Auxiliary systems—online sampling, additive injection, desulfurization solvent circulation, acid-alkali neutralization, FCC catalyst replenishment, and overhead corrosion inhibitor injection—constitute the triple bottom line of unit safety, product quality, and environmental emissions. Transfer pumps in these processes face unique challenges: alternating acid-alkali corrosion, ppm-level dosing accuracy, high-temperature and high-pressure sealing, and 8,000+ hours/year of continuous operation. The following analyzes the core pain points and JONSN solutions.



▼  Industry Pain Points

Online Sampling Representativeness Distortion — Dead Volume, Vaporization, Residual Cross-Contamination
Online sampling systems in petrochemical units require full-process sampling from high temperatures (400–500°C at FCC reactor outlets) to low temperatures (overhead reflux condensate). Conventional sampling pumps exhibit clear deficiencies: dead volume >50 ml causes sample dilution by previous batch residues; dissolved gases in hydrocarbons vaporize within the pump chamber, causing sampling volume deviations >5%; cross-contamination when switching sampling points renders total sulfur/nitrogen analysis inaccurate. A single sampling distortion can directly cause a batch of gasoline/diesel to exceed sulfur content specifications.


Additive Injection — Antioxidants, Corrosion Inhibitors, Demulsifiers; ppm-Level Metering Is Margin
Refining units consume thousands of tons of additives annually: antioxidants (anti-gum deposition), demulsifiers (crude oil desalting), corrosion inhibitors (overhead corrosion protection), and antifoaming agents (delayed coker flooding prevention). Dosing deviation exceeding ±2% leads to two consequences: too little results in coking/corrosion/deposition in the unit, while too much wastes millions of yuan annually in dosing costs, and overdosing may introduce new side-reaction products.


Desulfurization Solvent Circulation — Amine Solution High Viscosity, Corrosivity, Foam Entrainment
Alkanolamine solutions (MDEA/DEA) used in hydrotreating, sulfur recovery, and dry gas desulfurization have viscosities of 20–80 mPa·s, with rich solution circulation rates reaching tens of tons per hour. Conventional centrifugal pumps suffer severe cavitation/gas binding in amine solutions, and trace H₂S carried in the amine causes sulfide stress corrosion cracking in ordinary metal pump bodies. Amine solutions cost ¥15,000–25,000/ton; pump seal leakage directly results in both environmental and economic losses.


Acid-Alkali Neutralization — Bidirectional Corrosion from Concentrated H₂SO₄ and Concentrated NaOH
In alkylation/sulfuric acid alkylation units, concentrated sulfuric acid (93%–98%) and concentrated sodium hydroxide solution (30%–50%) serve as catalysts and neutralizers. These media are injected alternately on the same line—acid wash immediately followed by alkaline neutralization. Ordinary stainless steel pumps suffer stress corrosion cracking in alkaline conditions and crevice corrosion in acidic conditions; pump body life may be only 3–6 months. Pump failure leads to uncontrolled neutralization, exposing downstream equipment to severe corrosion risk.


FCC Catalyst Replenishment — High-Temperature Powder Wear; Uneven Flow Causes Bed Channeling
Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) units replenish several tons of catalyst powder (temperature 650–720°C) daily. Powder flow deviations directly cause uneven catalyst distribution in the riser—local insufficient catalyst concentration produces thermal cracking (reduced liquid yield), while local excess produces dry gas + coke (deteriorated product distribution). Pumps conveying powder must also withstand abrasive wear from catalyst particles.


Overhead Corrosion Inhibitor Injection — High Pressure, Trace Volume, Continuous and Uninterrupted
Corrosion inhibitors injected at atmospheric/vacuum tower overheads form protective films in the condensation system. Injection rates are typically only 5–20 ppm (relative to crude throughput) but must be delivered stably against 0.2–2.0 MPa backpressure at the tower overhead. A 2-hour injection interruption can cause sulfide corrosion perforation of overhead condensers, with shutdown repairs costing millions. Conventional metering pumps experience significant flow decay under high backpressure and require frequent calibration.

▼  Core Values

▸ Sampling Representativeness — Dead Volume <0.5 ml, Every Sulfur Analysis Is Trustworthy

Online sampling in petrochemical units is the first line of quality control. The MPG minimal dead volume design ensures every sample reflects real-time actual operating conditions, eliminating residual dilution and vaporization errors. Multi-channel switching allows one MPG to replace 6–12 independent sampling pumps.


▸ Additive Precision — Saving Millions in Annual Dosing Costs While Making the Unit Safer

Additive injection deviation is compressed from ±3–5% of conventional metering pumps to ±0.5–1%. A one-million-ton refining unit can save millions of yuan annually in additive costs. More importantly, positive displacement viscosity immunity ensures dosing quantities do not drift with operating condition fluctuations.


▸ Zero Amine Leakage — Magnetic Seal Eliminates H₂S Leakage Risk

MDEA/DEA amine circulation rates reach tens of tons per hour, valued at tens of thousands of yuan per ton, and carry toxic H₂S. The significance of DP magnetic drive without dynamic seals extends beyond saving solvent losses to fundamentally eliminating potential risks of personal injury and environmental incidents.


▸ Acid and Alkali Mastery — Hastelloy C-276, One Pump Simultaneously Withstands pH <0 and pH >14

In alkylation/sulfuric acid alkylation units, concentrated sulfuric acid and concentrated alkali are injected alternately on the same line. The MRA + C-276 combination enables a single pump to handle both acid and alkali injection tasks, eliminating the complexity and leakage risk of dual-pump switching.


▸ Uninterrupted FCC Replenishment — Nitrided Hardened Gears Against Catalyst Abrasion

FCC units replenish several tons of catalyst powder daily; conventional progressive cavity/gear pumps wear rapidly. DP nitrided hardened gears + large clearance design maintain stable flow and long life in powder flow.


▸ Uninterrupted Overhead Injection — Dual-Pump Redundancy Switchover <1 Second

A 2-hour interruption of overhead corrosion inhibitor injection can cause condenser perforation. MPG high-pressure type + dual-pump redundant configuration ensures injection is never interrupted, with primary/backup switchover <1 second and 8,000+ hours of continuous non-stop operation.
