Get Rid of Flare Knockout Drum Pump Problems with DuPont™ Vespel® CR-6100
If you would like to improve the reliability of your flare knockout drum pumps, consider an upgrade to DuPont™ Vespel® CR-6100 wear rings and bushings.
In a distant corner of every hydrocarbon processing plant there is a flare (or several flares). The flare burns off excess hydrocarbon gas leakage from the plant. The flare gas comes from all of the emergency relief lines in the plant along with the refinery blow-down system which handles the normal leakage from tandem seals and numerous other points in the plant. All of these lines join into a header which flows into a large vessel called the Flare Knockout Drum.
