How the VLT Vertical Process Pump Works
The VLT is a vertical process pump of the double-casing type, as defined by API-610. By incorporating multiple stages within the low- and medium-specific speed design range, the VLT delivers exceptional efficiency and cost-effective performance in high-head applications. Its specially engineered first stage enables operation with extremely low NPSH requirements while maintaining optimal running speeds. Unique hydraulic and mechanical design features ensure long-term reliability and peak performance.
Features
- Capacity 100 to 1,600 m³/h (7,000 gpm)
- Head up to 1,494 m (4,900 ft)
- Maximum Pressure 140 bar (2,020 psi)
- Temperature -195 to 565 °C (-320 to 1,050 °F)
- Vertical construction designed for mounting in an insulated “cold box” for immediate and ready start up
- Special first stage impeller with low NPSH requirement characteristics to keep pump length to a minimum
- Simple thermal isolation of sealing area requiring no heaters or special temperature controls
- Simple sealing systems for isolating gaseous product from atmosphere
- Provision for monitoring sealing performance
- Conventional vertical solid shaft motor utilizing grease lubricated anti-friction bearings with long minimum bearing life
Applications
- Cryogenic Applications
How the VLT Cryogenic Pump Works
Ruhrpumpen’s cryogenic VLT pump represents the culmination of years of experience in cryogenic service, addressing the unique engineering challenges of low-temperature pumping. Designed for both standby and continuous operation, the pump is mounted within a “cold box,” allowing all low-temperature components to be fully insulated. It is typically driven by a vertical solid-shaft electric motor engineered to absorb the hydraulic thrust produced by the pump through grease-lubricated anti-friction bearings.
Features
- Capacity up to 90,850 m³/h (400,000 gpm)
- Head up to 900 m (3,000 ft)
- Maximum Pressure up to 90 bar (1,300 psi)
- Temperature -196 to 250 °C (-320 to 500 °F)
- Construction according to API 610 latest edition (VS6 type)
- Fabrications manufactured using ASME Section IX code qualified welders
- Fabrications designed to national standards when required
- Wide range of hydraulic designs to suit all applications
- Choice of bearings and mechanical seals
- Pump mounted thrust bearing when required
- Tank or sump mount options available
Applications
- Oil & Gas
- Hydrocarbons
- Pipeline
- Refineries
- Power Generation
- Condensate Services
- Municipal
- Water
- Wastewater Treatment
- Flood Service
How the VMT Vertical Process Pump Works
By incorporating multiple stages within the medium specific speed design range, the VMT delivers exceptional efficiency and cost-effective performance in high-head applications. Its specially engineered first stage enables operation with extremely low NPSH requirements while maintaining optimal operating speeds.
