Hydraulic Decoking Systems Rotary Joint
| Brand: | Flowserve |
|---|---|
| Description: |
The rotary joint enhances operational efficiency, safety, and equipment life in automated and semi-automated decoking systems used across refineries and petrochemical plants worldwide. |
The Flowserve Pacific® heavy-duty rotary joint is robustly designed to support the suspended loads experienced in coking units. Its function is to transmit cutting fluid from the stationary hose connection to the drill stem and cutting tool. Flowserve is continually upgrading its rotary joint to accommodate increasingly higher cutting pressure requirements.
- Applications:
Petroleum Production and Refining, Decoking - Industries:
Heavy Oil and Upgrading, Delayed Coking
Features and Benefits
- Two flange sizes – The rotary joint is available with 125 mm (5 in) 250 PN (1500 lb) or 400 PN (2500 lb) inlet flanges and with optional 150 mm (6 in) Unibolt® or compact flange connections to match the drill stem connector
- Cast single-piece gooseneck eliminates welds and reduces corrosion
- Rotary joint drive options –
- Air piston motor
- Hydraulic
- E-motor (with VFD)
- Dual Seal
- Increased reliability with a four-year design life
- Switching from the primary seal to the secondary seal allows for planned maintenance in the event of a seal failure
- Simple installation reduces downtime
- Retrofit option for all Flowserve rotary joints
- Rotary joint upgrade options
- Convert packing to seal rings
- Convert vertical air motor to horizontal motor with right angle gear
