Welcome to Sundyne’s blog – our goal is to share information (at varying levels of detail) to provide insight on pumps, compressors and the aftermarket parts & services that can help Sundyne’s customers get more out of their process equipment investments.
How are Pumps & Compressors used in Carbon Capture, Utilization & Storage?
Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) is a set of processes used to “capture” carbon dioxide (CO2) from emissions generated by large-scale industrial and power generation processes.
Sundyne Pumps and Compressors for Sustainable Aviation Fuel and Renewable Diesel Production
Sustainable Aviation Fuel, made from non-petroleum feedstocks, is a drop-in alternative fuel that reduces emissions caused by air transportation.
Pumps for Ammonia Production
Ammonia (NH3) is produced by the catalytic reaction of nitrogen and hydrogen. It can also be found naturally, from the decomposition of plants, animals and animal waste.
Sundyne Hosts Several Training Events to Support Customer Needs
The Sundyne Sales organization recently conducted a series of global sales training meetings to bring our worldwide team of expert sales engineers up to date on the latest product updates and advancements.
Why Sealless Pumps are a Good Choice for Electrolyzers
Electrolyzers use electricity to break water (H2O) into Hydrogen and Oxygen through a process called electrolysis. Most electrolyzers contain a cathode (negative charge), and anode (positive charge) and a membrane. Electricity is applied to the anode and cathode across a proton exchange membrane (PEM), which causes the water (H2O) to split into its component molecules – hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2). Most electrolyzer skids feature pumps, vents, storage tanks, a power supply, a separator and other components.
Propylene Pumps - Everything You Need To Know
Polypropylene material is commonly used for the manufacturing of automotive components, profiles, fashion apparel, and healthcare devices. Polypropylene is a thermoplastic resin made from the polymerization of propylene. In the production of polypropylene, propylene monomer is subjected to heat and pressure in the presence of a catalyst system. Polymerization conditions, such as temperature, pressure and reactant concentrations, are set by the polymer grade to be produced.
Pumps for Biodiesel & Renewable Diesel
According to Industrial Info Resources (IIR), US refineries in April made more than 1.5 million barrels of diesel fuel each day. As a comparison, approximately 8.5 million barrels of gasoline were refined per day in the US during the same period.
During the pandemic, Shell, Marathon and Phillips-66 closed 11 refineries in the United States. Today, 8 of these 11 plants are being modernized. Some plants will restart traditional operations. Others will be converted to oil export terminals, and more than half of these shuttered plants are being upgraded and converted to process renewables, such as biodiesel and renewable diesel.
What is a Petrochemical Pump?
Petrochemicals are a specific set of organic chemical compounds that are mainly derived from oil & gas, via hydrocarbon cracking and chemical processing. Petrochemical processing plants are located close to (or integrated within) oil refineries, to take advantage of feedstocks, which are typically ethylene, propylene, methanol, hydrogen and aromatic hydrocarbons. Petrochemical feedstocks are used to generate thousands of polymeric chemicals for industrial and consumer use.
