The landscape for chemical centrifugal pumps is rapidly evolving. With global energy costs as a significant concern since 2022, the emphasis on pump efficiency has intensified, moving from a desirable feature to an operational necessity. Looking to 2025, stricter efficiency standards, carbon neutrality deadlines, and the rise of smart factory integration are set to redefine pump selection criteria.

Longgang Pump Industry Co., Ltd., a qualified supplier to major corporations like CNPC, Sinopec, and CNOOC, is at the forefront of providing solutions that meet these future demands. Longgang offers a range of API pumps and other centrifugal pumps designed for various industrial applications, including the chemical industry, petrochemical, coal chemical, fertilizer, and CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage).

5 Key Selection Criteria for 2025

When selecting chemical centrifugal pumps, five critical criteria will guide purchasing decisions in 2025:

Member Hydraulic Efficiency Beyond Nameplate

While nameplate data establishes the benchmark, real efficiency will be quantified in variable load use. Pumps prefer to maximize efficiency in performance other than at their best efficiency point (BEP). For optimum performance, frontier industrial applications require pumps with the capability of maintaining high hydraulic efficiency over a broader operating range.

Longgang Pump Industry offers various centrifugal pumps, including the LAD(BB1)-Axial Split Double Suction Centrifugal Pump and LCD(BB3)-Horizontal Split Multi-Stage Centrifugal Pump. Longgang aims to provide efficient and reliable centrifugal pump solutions to the demanding petrochemical and petroleum industries.

Smart Compatibility for Industry 4.0

The integration of pumps with Industrial IoT (IIoT) platforms is becoming increasingly vital in real-time efficiency monitoring and predictive maintenance. This facilitates proactive rather than reactive pump performance and health management.

Longgang Pump Industry manufactures types like the LZE(OH2)-Single Stage Cantilever Centrifugal Pump and LZV(OH3)-Single Stage Vertical Pipeline Centrifugal Pump. These sources fail to provide any built-in sensors for predictive maintenance or features like 3DView Composer digital twins in these models of pumps. Longgang is focused on providing efficient and reliable solutions for various industrial applications.

Corrosion & Cavitation Material Science

Chemical corrosion is a significant factor in pump longevity. Therefore, the material science of pump construction is paramount. Selecting materials resistant to specific chemicals and designs that mitigate cavitation is essential for extended operational life and reduced maintenance.

Carbon Neutral Operations

Pumps are increasingly being known as assets that can be utilized to assist industries in becoming carbon-neutral. This involves the implementation of energy-efficient pumps that can be used to enable processes like Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS).

Yantai Longgang Pump Industry Co., Ltd. completed the “Qilu Petrochemical – Shengli Oilfield Million Tons CCUS Project” with a capacity of 125m³/h @800m and a power of 500kW. The project helps reduce 1 million tons of CO2.

Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) vs. Purchase Price

The initial price of a pump is just one component of the cost of ownership of a pump. During the lifetime of a pump, energy consumption and maintenance typically account for most of the TCO. Focusing on TCO ensures a more economically sound investment.

Longgang Solutions for 2025

Longgang Pump Industry offers a range of centrifugal pumps tailored for diverse industrial needs:

LTD(BB5)-Double Shell Multi-Stage Centrifugal Pump

This model is designed for high-pressure applications. It was notably used in a BB5-lined BB3 structure as the feed oil circulation pump for the 2023 Yulong Island Refining and Chemical Integration Project (Phase I), transporting high-temperature hot oil.

LDT(VS6)-Vertical Suspended Bag Centrifugal Pump

This pump is part of Longgang’s product lineup. Longgang also provides pumps for low-temperature applications in large-scale ethylene and downstream high-end new materials industry cluster projects.

Customization Capabilities

Longgang provides key pumps for various applications, including customized solutions for chemical processes like those at Qingdao Refining and Chemical Co., Ltd’s Acetic Anhydride operations. They have a nearly 70-person R&D team and offer significant production and experimentation capabilities.

Your 2025 Pump Selection Checklist

When making your next pump selection, consider the following:

• API + ISO Certified: Confirm the manufacturer holds relevant certifications. Longgang mentions having “Certificates” available for display and download.
• Material Compatibility: Request material testing reports to ensure resistance to specific chemicals like H₂SO₄/NaOH.
• TCO Analysis: Prioritize suppliers who can discuss Total Cost of Ownership over just initial price.
