Rotary

Rotary equipment is a critical component in various industrial processes, including the petrochemical industry. It is used for transferring fluids, compressing gas, and generating power. Rotary equipment comes in different types, sizes, and materials, each designed for specific applications.Here we will provide a comprehensive guide to rotary equipment, including pumps, gearbox, compressors, and electro motors. We will also discuss their applications in petrochemicals and some of the leading brands in the market. Finally, we will introduce Emaad, as a specialized company in the Middle East  that supplies rotary equipment in Iraq, Oman, Turkey.

Pumps:

Pumps are rotary equipment used to transfer fluids from one location to another. They work by creating a pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of the pump, which forces the fluid to move. There are different types of pumps, including dosing pumps, feed water pumps, submersible pumps, and centrifugal pumps.

Dosing pumps are used for accurate dosing of chemicals in petrochemical processes.

Feed water pumps are used to supply water to boilers for steam generation. 

Submersible pumps are used to pump fluids from underground sources or submerged areas. Centrifugal pumps are the most common type of pump used in petrochemicals. They work by converting rotational energy from a motor into hydrodynamic energy to move the fluid

Gearbox:

Gearboxes are rotary equipment used to transmit power from one rotating component to another. They work by using gears to increase or decrease the speed or torque of the rotating component. Gearboxes are essential in petrochemicals for driving pumps, compressors, and other equipment. There are different types of gearboxes, including helical gearboxes and bevel gearboxes. Helical gearboxes are used for high-torque applications and have a low noise level. Bevel gearboxes are used for applications that require changing the direction of power transmission.

Electro Motors:

Electro motors are rotary equipment used to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. They work by using a magnetic field to rotate a shaft. Electro motors are essential in petrochemicals for driving pumps, compressors, and other equipment. There are different types of electro motors, including high-voltage motors and low-voltage motors. High-voltage motors are used for high-power applications, while low-voltage motors are used for low-power applications.

Applications in Petrochemicals:

Rotary equipment plays a crucial role in various petrochemical processes, including refining, production, and transportation. Pumps are used to transfer fluids between different stages of the process, while compressors are used to compress gases for transportation or processing. Gearboxes and electromotors are essential for driving pumps and compressors.

Compressors:

Compressors are rotary equipment used to compress gas. They work by reducing the volume of the gas while increasing its pressure. There are different types of compressors, including positive displacement compressors, dynamic compressors, and axial compressors.  Positive displacement compressors work by trapping a fixed amount of gas and then forcing it into a smaller volume. They are suitable for handling high-pressure gases.  Dynamic compressors work by using rotating blades to accelerate the gas and then convert its kinetic energy into pressure energy. They are suitable for handling low-pressure, high-flow gases. Axial compressors work by using a series of rotating and stationary blades to compress the gas. They are suitable for handling high-pressure, high-flow gasses.
