Process & Oilfield Fluid Solutions

Built for Safe, Reliable Flow in Oil & Gas, Refining and Petrochemical Processes

API 610 Centrifugal Pumps in Oil & Gas and Petrochemical Processes

Core Value Proposition

In refining, petrochemical, natural gas and energy operations, process fluid handling directly impacts safety, uptime and profitability. Harsh conditions — high temperatures, high pressure, corrosion, abrasion and continuous duty — demand more than standard pumps.

CME Process Fluid Solutions are engineered around API 610 centrifugal pumps, the global gold standard for critical processes. We deliver fully supported solutions from equipment selection and system integration to full lifecycle support.

Overview of Successful Applications

A ten-million-tonne integrated refining and chemical project: High-temperature hot oil pumps supplied for its atmospheric and vacuum distillation unit have operated trouble-free for more than 3 years, helping the unit achieve the long-cycle target of 'overhaul once every four years'.
A large natural gas processing plant in the Middle East: A full set of amine solution circulation pumps supplied, which successfully cope with high-sulfur operating conditions, with a seal leakage rate far below industry standards.
An LNG receiving terminal in Northern Europe: Vertical low-temperature can pumps adopted for LNG transportation, featuring stable performance and fully meeting the requirements of continuous operation under extreme low temperatures.
