The RO-FT between-bearing configuration provides a reliable, robust and easy to maintain pump for the midstream and downstream refining, petrochemical and chemical processing industries. Designed specifically for demanding low-flow high-head services, this pump fully meets the requirements of API 610. The operating characteristics of the Roto-Jet® RO-FT API 610 pump are simple and similar to a conventional centrifugal pump. Energy is added to the fluid via the rotor, and the stationary Pitot tube converts the fluid velocity energy into static pressure. In addition, the Roto-Jet® RO-FT API 610 pump has been specifically designed to achieve a broad operating range without generating damaging hydraulic forces during a process upset. These attributes result in improved mechanical seal and bearing life to maximize Mean Time Between Failure, and decrease operational and maintenance costs, which make the Roto-Jet the most cost effective choice for low-flow high head process applications.
API 610 11th Edition compliant, Standard API 682 cartridge seals, No external lube system required, No wear rings or close running clearances, Low NPSH3 without the use of an inducer, Robust design is insensitive to process upsets, Pulsation free flow over the entire head-flow curve, Integral gearbox is isolated from process seal leakage, Reduced life cycle cost by optimising hydraulic efficiency, Process seals exposed only to suction pressure for maximum seal life, Between bearings arrangement minimises shaft deflection at the seals, Bearing L10 life exceeds API 610 requirements using rolling element bearings, Patented rotor eliminates radial and axial thrust as a function of flow rate and suction pressure, High heads achieved in a single stage at low operating speeds compared to other low-flow, high-head pumps.
