Xi'an Pump & Valve's XGBS150-480 zirconium pump breaks the monopoly, propelling the domestic acetic acid industry to new heights!

Recently, Xi’an Pump & Valve’s independently developed XGBS150-480 zirconium mother liquor circulation pump was recognised as a ‘First-of-its-Kind’ major technical equipment product under Shaanxi Province’s 2024 initiative.

Drawing on nearly two decades of experience in the design and production of zirconium centrifugal pumps, combined with expertise in the deep processing of high-performance non-ferrous materials such as zirconium and the application of chemical pump technology, Xi’an Pump & Valve has independently developed the XGBS150-480 zirconium mother liquor circulation pump. This product complies with the American Petroleum Institute standard API 610-2010 (11th edition) ‘Centrifugal Pumps for the Petroleum, Petrochemical and Natural Gas Industries’. Following comprehensive assessments of structural design and process risks, the product’s key performance indicators comply with GB/T 3216 ‘Acceptance Tests for Hydraulic Performance of Rotary Dynamic Pumps – Classes 1, 2 and 3’, GB/T 3214 ‘Methods for Determining the Flow Rate of Pumps’, GB/T 13006 ‘Cavitation Margin for Centrifugal, Mixed-Flow and Axial-Flow Pumps’, GB/T 13007 ‘Efficiency of Centrifugal Pumps’, GB 32284 ‘Energy Efficiency Limit Values and Energy Efficiency Grades for Petrochemical Centrifugal Pumps’, GB/T 29529 ‘Methods for the Measurement and Evaluation of Pump Noise’, and GB/T 29531 ‘Methods for the Measurement and Evaluation of Pump Vibration’.

The XGBS150-480 zirconium mother liquor circulation pump, developed by Xi’an Pump & Valve, is characterised by high flow rate, high head, high rotational speed, high efficiency and excellent cavitation resistance. The successful development of this product has broken the long-standing market monopoly held by foreign companies in this sector. It lays a solid foundation for providing reliable products for domestic acetic acid plant equipment and will act as a catalyst for the rapid development of China’s acetic acid industry, yielding significant social benefits.
