Viking has just stepped up promotion of their new XPD 676 range, so we thought it would be a good time to review their offerings for chemical, petro-chemical oil and gas process applications – the XPD 676 pump series – the first internal gear positive displacement pump to be fully API 676 compliant.
Talking to the team over at Viking they said that designing the XPD 676 pump actually made them re-evaluate their design process and the R&D needed to design a pump to meet the API 676 standard. This has actually had a trickle down effect for how they design the rest of their pump range going forward.
The name of the game in here is risk mitigation. While you can use pumps based on exceptions to the API 676 standard it does mean that you are open to risks and that you must have risk mitigation strategies in place – many of which can be more expensive to enforce than just using a compliant pump in the first place (think air quality litigation, increased cost of insurance, clean up of chemicals or hydro-carbon spills or environmental reporting costs).
