Jet Pump for Decoking Systems

 Jet Pump for Decoking Systems

The Saptora WIK jet pump is a multistage, double-case barrel pump with tandem (in-line) impellers, built to meet or exceed ISO 13709/API 610 (BB5) standards. Its low specific speed hydraulics and extra heavy-duty, stiff rotor design deliver reliable performance in demanding applications.

This pump is ideal for special-purpose, unspared, and high-power-density operations where durability and consistent operation are critical.

Features & Benefits

  • The Saptora WIK jet pump combines robust construction with service-friendly design for high-reliability operation:

    • Back pullout, cartridge-style construction: Allows quick replacement of the inner case sub-assembly (rotor, diffusers, discharge/suction heads, seals, and bearings) to minimize downtime.

    • Stiff rotor design: Large-diameter, thermally stabilized shaft prevents distortion from residual stresses.

    • Precision-cast impellers: Low specific speed, statically and dynamically balanced; double-keyed and secured against axial movement in high-speed applications. First-stage impeller options meet varying NPSH requirements.

    • Multi-vane, radially split diffusers and channel ring collectors: Eliminate radial imbalances and ensure repeatable performance.

    • Axial thrust management: Single-diameter balance drum compensates for residual axial thrust from tandem impellers.

    • Seal flexibility: ISO 21049/API 682 seal chamber accommodates multiple mechanical seal types.

    • Optional WIKO opposed impeller design: For discharge pressures >450 bar (6,615 psi), balancing hydraulic thrust.

    • Heavy-duty bearings: Pressure dam radial sleeve bearings and Kingsbury thrust bearings with lube oil system reduce vibration and support high-speed reliability.

    • Rotor stability: Classified as “Large shaft, wet running” per Duncan Hood Chart; rotor stabilized dynamically via Lomakin effect without contacting the stator.

    This combination of durable construction, precise hydraulics, and service-friendly design ensures consistent performance in special-purpose, high-power-density applications.
