Hot Glycol
Hot Glycol
(OP)
For a triplex pump moving hot glycol at 250 deg. F, what options/accessories/recommendation need to be considered/included?
How would this differ from a pump moving salt water with the same operating condition at ambient temperatures.

For new pumps I what to know what pitfalls are common for hot glycol and what is necessary to protect the pump and lengthen the life of the expendables.
The triplex pumps that I am most familiar with are oilfield designs with the primary application of salt water injection. The water injection configuration is "standard", so we usually have to start there and request modification by specifying the alternative materials and optional accessories.
I made this question vague on purpose because the first thing that comes to mind when one sees 250 Deg F. Glycol will likely be different for everyone and I don't want to limit anyone's comments by making this to specific. I am sure there is more than one solution to this application so I welcome everyone's comments. Especially those of you how have field experience (good or bad) with this hot glycol pumps.
