A natural gas plant in the Middle East had been using a multi-stage, heavy duty vertical turbine pump, type 60-WUJ-2M, in organic lean amine production. Lean amine is an organic compound that can absorb hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide from sour natural gas. The pump was continuously failing due to flashing and dry run episodes, which severely scored the shaft. Tuesday, September 1, 2020
