Case Study: Flowserve Corporation saves $200,000 annually with Datacor's Fathom

Flowserve saves $200,000 annually with Datacor

Flowserve Corporation, a global provider of fluid motion and control products, faced a challenge with premature erosion and reliability issues in the cooling water pump system at one of its customer's refineries. This problem resulted in significant equipment downtime and repair costs. To address this, Flowserve used Datacor's Fathom pipe flow modeling software to analyze the system and identify the most economical operational scenario.

Using the Fathom model, which accurately predicted field data, Datacor's solution enabled Flowserve to recommend a new pump configuration. This allowed the refinery to achieve the required cooling using only four pumps instead of six. The implementation of Datacor's solution resulted in annual operational savings of $200,000 and greatly improved system reliability.
