Downstream Processing

Downstream processing applications can run into some very tough challenges. That’s why you need a partner with decades of experience and that understands how small mistakes can have big consequences. Reliability and experience are what make Flowserve your partner of choice.

Uptime, throughput and yield
With large volumes, low margins and millions at stake you need a partner that knows how to minimize the opportunity for error by maximizing reliability. Flowserve has the industry expertise, engineering, and design to help you select, install, and configure the right product for the application. And when an unintended trip occurs, we’re able to quickly get a local engineer right to your site to address and assess whatever needs fixing.

Predictability and reliability of service
When you schedule downtime for replacements and service, it’s imperative that parts arrive on time. We know that time lost is revenue lost, and that you rely on your partners to hold up their end of the bargain. That’s why Flowserve assesses the customer’s processes, documenting equipment in need of support and has the appropriate supporting inventory to get them up and running in case of emergency. And when unexpected shutdowns occur, local engineers are available for immediate repairs and maintenance.

Environmental and safety considerations
The goal is that valves open and close when they’re supposed to, and that nothing leaks--ever! This is difficult to achieve, we know, especially with some applications that pose unique problems, like coal liquefaction. Fortunately, Flowserve has the science and engineering expertise to meet even your toughest refining challenges. We ensure that our products comply with the latest environmental standards and that leaks are not an issue, regardless of how extreme the conditions.
