“Smart Solutions" from Masdaf Providing High Efficiency in Petrochemical Industry

Offering solutions that shape the expectations of its customers with half a century of experience in the pump industry, Masdaf warned investors and operators about the design and selection of pumps that consume an average of 30% of energy in the petrochemical industry.

Masdaf, which is the corporate supplier of leading companies in the petrochemical industry with high efficiency pump technologies, explained that choosing the right pump for every process in the petrochemical industry “ensures system efficiency and positively affects operating costs".

Masdaf, a solution partner for prestigious projects with nearly half a century of experience in the pump industry and customer-oriented service understanding, warned investors and businesses about the right pump selection in the petrochemical industry.

Offers sustainable solutions

Serving buildings, infrastructure applications, agricultural fields and industries with more than 100 product varieties, Masdaf continues to offer sustainable solutions to its customers with its sector-specific product variety and specialized engineers.

Industry leading brand in general service pumps

“As in many industries, choosing the right pump for each process for the petrochemical industry positively affects the operating costs," Masdaf Business Development Manager Ahmet YILMAZ said. “We divide the preferred pump types in the petrochemical industry into three. The first of these is "General Service Pumps" used for heating, cooling, water preparation, wastewater and fire protection and produced in accordance with THE 733 standards of DIN. As Masdaf, I can say that we are the leading brand in this field. Secondly, they are our ISO EN 2858 series NME pumps, which undertake the task of transmitting petroleum and its derivatives petrochemical fluids. Making the right system selection in such pumps is of great importance in terms of smooth production, optimization of energy costs, maintenance and reduction of spare part time and costs. The third type of pump is called "Upstream” in the petrochemical industry and should be produced in the refinery sector according to API 610 standards. In this regard, our R&D studies continue.

Correct reconnaissance and project design are very important

As in many industries, a process without pump operation cannot be considered in the petrochemistry sector. It is very important to select a pump suitable for each process. Technologies appropriate to the properties of the fluid to be transferred should be preferred in order to make the right pump investment. It is also very important to make the correct reconnaissance and project design for the right choice.

The operating period of the pump is among the determining criteria in the investment

It would not be correct to evaluate the suitability criterion of the pump systems only in terms of flow-pressure values. Several parameters such as density, viscosity, pH value, temperature, corrosion strength and appropriate pump material selection, system pressure, vibration should be considered. For example, the operating period of the pump is among the determining criteria in the investment made.

Control with automation systems is important

In addition, control alternatives, that is, control of pump technologies with automation systems, are also important. It has to be taken into account whether the pump will operate at a fixed value or according to process values. Frequency control devices used in pumps offer control advantage by providing instant access to external units (building automation system) with Mod-Bus or Bacnet communication protocol. Thus, both system efficiency and energy saving are achieved with smart pump technologies that operate efficiently in line with the needs of the system.

Renovation becomes inevitable after 10-15 years

In a challenging industry such as the petrochemical sector, pumps have a life span of 10-15 years, and when this process is completed, renovation is inevitable. Sometimes breakthroughs in process technology can also bring about changes in pump technologies that have a long life.

Compliance with international norms

Compliance of pump technologies to be used in the petrochemical industry with international norms is also one of the important criteria to be taken into consideration when choosing pumps. For example, ATEX norms and  Ex-Proof properties can be listed as indispensable in industries using explosive and flammable substances such as the petrochemical industry.  

Opinions and suggestions of contracting company

In the brand preference of investors and businesses, the opinions and suggestions of the licensed and process design contractor companies are also of great importance in terms of a competitive advantage for brands that produce in accordance with standards, and in terms of operating costs, which is an important output of the right system selection for investors. For example, TGE Gas Engineering from the foreign market and Team Engineering from the domestic market are a good example of this business model. As pioneers in the field, these companies play a key role in entering the petrochemical sector.

Today, as Masdaf, we are the corporate supplier of many businesses that we successfully serve at every stage from the right product selection to the commissioning process. We offer innovative and sustainable solutions to petrochemical segment brands such as Petrol Ofisi, Aytemiz, Turkuaz, Ergaz, Total, Türkiye Petrolleri, Plastifay, Henkel, Likit Kimya and TPPD.
