Processing heavy oil residues is a complex task: operating temperatures above 300 °C, pressures above 160 bar and–depending on the installation site–strong fluctuations of the outside temperature, which can range from almost -50 °C up to +50 °C. These are the challenges that LEWA faces in the hydroconversion process. With its remote-head metering pumps, LEWA offers the optimum solution for hydroconversion in refinery processes.
Advantages of LEWA remote-head diaphragm pumps:
Crude oil must be cleaned, broken and refined after production until the final products suitable for sale are produced. About 95% of the oils can be processed directly in refineries. Five percent of heavy oil are left. Hydroconversion helps to exploit these leftovers by producing clean fuels and petrochemical raw materials. Various catalytic processes remove heteroatoms, such as sulfur or nitrogen, and convert large carbon-water molecules into smaller ones. The hydroconversion ensures a clean, residue-free oil processing of almost 100%.
Crude oil must be cleaned, separated, and converted (refined) until the final products suitable for sale are made (e.g., gas, diesel, heating oil, lubricants, propane, butane). LEWA supports you with pumps and metering systems, which are used in the refining process during chemical metering. Application with our products are distillation plants, coker, cracker, or visbreaker, for example. Ask our experts for more information!

When critical, environmentally hazardous, toxic, or flammable fluids and suspensions need to be reliably conveyed or metered in high-pressure processes, there is no alternative to hermetically sealed metering pumps, process diaphragm pumps, and metering systems from LEWA. Hermetically sealed LEWA pumps with pressures up to 1200 bar are the first choice for the production of chemical intermediate and end products. Contact our experts and let us advise you about your individual chemical pump or system solution!
