Use of MCAM THERMOPLASTICS in Compressor , Pumps & Valves is to enhance
- Increased MTBR (Mean Time Between Rebuild)
- Increased MTBF (Meantime Between Failure)
- Reducing VOC Emissions
- Reduced Weight & Power Requirements
- Improved Chemical Resistance
- Reduce Seals Clearance
- Prolong Wear Life
- Improved Overall Performance & Efficiencies
PUMPS
Use of MCAM THERMOPLASTICS in Pumps
A PUMP is a machine that moves fluids (either liquids or gases) by mechanical action. Normally we think of PUMPS moving liquids (incompressible fluid)
VALVES
Use of MCAM THERMOPLASTICS in Valves
Valves regulate fluid flow by opening and closing. The moving parts of a valve and their actuators
are prime opportunities to improve performance through the use of advanced engineered thermoplastics.
COMPRESSORS
Use of MCAM THERMOPLASTICS in Compressor
A COMPRESSOR is a PUMP that compresses and moves compressible fluids…..aka GAS.
There are different types of compressors, some of which are✓ Positive Displacement (Reciprocating or Rotary),
✓ Dynamic (Centrifugal / Axial)
Offshore & Onshore - Oil & Gas Equipment
Subsea
Exploratory
Highly engineered sonar and exploratory sensing equipment is used to locate, identify, define,and even map the ocean floor. Materials may require electrical insulation, impact resistance for toughness at cold temperatures, and the ability to handle extreme pressures at great depths.
Above Water
Above the water structures, components, systems, and accompanying vessels are used for well drilling, exploration, or extraction of petroleum and natural gas. Necessary materials for these environments offer light weight, strength and stiffness, along with wear resistance and great corrosion resistance.
Down Hole
Down-hole equipment is anything that may go into the well for drilling, completion, or production enhancement of the flow from the underground reservoir. Components demand extreme strength and stiffness at various temperatures, along with the ability to resist degradation
from aggressive drilling fluids and down-hole chemicals.
