• In the iodine extraction process from brine, corrosive environments can pose a significant challenge for centrifugal pumps. However, the application of ZPEX coating has showcased promising results in extending the lifespan of these pumps. This blog post discusses the experience of Iofina, where ZPEX-coated units have successfully operated for months compared to previous pump failures within weeks.

The Corrosive Challenge:

• Iofina, in their iodine removal process from brine, faced a corrosive environment that severely affected centrifugal pumps. The pumps’ original lifespan was only a matter of weeks due to the aggressive nature of the brine solution.

The ZPEX Coating Solution:

• To address this issue, a unit was selected for ZPEX coating. This protective coating was specifically chosen for its resistance to corrosive elements. Once ZPEX-coated, the pump was put back into service and has now been running continuously for over three months, surpassing the previous lifespan of uncoated pumps by a significant margin.

Monitoring for Life Extension:

• The ZPEX-coated pump at Iofina is currently being closely monitored to assess its longevity and overall effectiveness in extending the pump’s service life. The results of this monitoring will be shared later this year, providing valuable insights into how ZPEX coating can improve pump reliability in corrosive brine environments.

Conclusion:

• The adoption of ZPEX coating by Iofina for their centrifugal pump used in iodine removal has proven to be a game-changer. With previous pump failures occurring within weeks due to the corrosive brine environment, the ZPEX-coated unit has surpassed expectations, operating for over three months and still going strong. The ongoing monitoring of this pump will shed further light on the life extension capabilities of ZPEX coating. These developments highlight the potential for ZPEX coating to revolutionize pump performance and reliability in corrosive brine applications.

• ZPEX coating has proven its mettle in various applications, including brine environments. This  post highlights the success stories of two prominent customers, DXPE and Eco Services, who have experienced the long-lasting performance of ZPEX coating in their pumps.

DXPE’s Success:

• DXPE, a significant pump customer for ZPEX, has reaped the benefits of ZPEX coating in numerous applications. Kevin Mazingo, a sales rep based in Houston, has achieved notable success with ZPEX in brine applications. One standout example includes the largest impeller ever coated, a 6′ one, which has exceeded expectations. DXPE’s client, Eco Services, has reported that the ZPEX-coated impeller still looks excellent even after two years of operation.

ZPEX in Oklahoma City:

• In Oklahoma City, around 200 Goulds pumps have undergone the ZPEX coating treatment. These pumps have been specifically chosen to endure the demanding conditions of brine pits. The belief is that many of these ZPEX-coated pumps are currently operational and performing admirably in such harsh environments.

Conclusion:

• The success stories from DXPE and Eco Services further solidify the reputation of ZPEX coating as a reliable solution for pump applications in brine environments. The impressive durability and longevity demonstrated by the 6′ ZPEX-coated impeller and the large number of ZPEX-coated pumps in Oklahoma City showcase the effectiveness of this coating. By choosing ZPEX, customers can trust in its ability to protect their equipment, ensuring optimal performance even in the most challenging conditions.3. Enterprise Products is a client, Ronnie Cole, was very impressed w/ our Lunch n Learn a while back, and didn’t hesitate to have us ZPEX a 5 stage vertical Afton pump. This pump has been in a brine service now for nearly 6 months and is being monitored for evaluation of the coating. So far all is good.
• Iofina has a centrifugal pump that is utilized to remove the iodine from brine. The environment was so corrosive pumps were lasting literally weeks. We ZPEX coated a unit and it is now in service and has ran for over 3 months. It is being monitored for life extension. We will share the results later on this year.
