Flowserve Rotary Joint for Decoking Systems
The Flowserve Rotary Joint is robustly designed to support the suspended loads experienced in decoking units. It serves two key functions. First, it transfers water from the decoking hose to the drill stem and has a sealing system to allow the high-pressure water from the jet pump to pass into the rotating drill stem without leakage. Second, it provides rotational movement of the complete drill stem and cutting tool assembly by way of a driver mounted on it.
Flowserve’s decoking system is fully integrated. Watch these videos to see our individual components.
