Oil & gas customers depend upon a broad range of manual and automatic pumps to keep processing systems operating effectively. High pressure, extreme temperatures and tough environmental conditions can challenge performance. Bodycote’s solutions help protect pump integrity. Our treatments reduce friction and provide reliable erosion and corrosion resistance – ensuring pump efficiency and durability throughout your processing system.
Field production equipment is mainly used in oil refineries and petroleum refineries where crude oil is processed and refined into more useful petroleum products, such as gasoline, diesel fuel, asphalt base, heating oil, kerosene, and liquefied petroleum gas. Valves, pumps and compressors form an integral part of the process and require specific treatment solutions to optimise their performance.
Bodycote’s services for pump components include heat treatment, thermochemical surface treatments (plasma nitriding, Kolsterising® and carbonitriding), surface coating technology (thermal spray + ceramic densification), and Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP).
Process solutions for this component include:
