DXP’s Collaboration with Dow Chemical in Seadrift, TX

Dow Chemical Engineering came to us at DXP with a unique challenge: replicating their critical "Skimmer Pump" units after the original manufacturer ceased operations. These industrial pumps are essential for Dow's operations in Seadrift, TX, where they play a pivotal role in capturing waste plastics from sumps to prevent filtration system clogs.

DXP Engineering Expertise in Action

Armed with a basic drawing from Dow, DXP Engineering stepped up to the challenge. Recognizing the need for robust equipment capable of handling solids and partial submersion, DXP opted for Flygt submersible pumps. Known for their durability and efficiency, these pumps were ideal for the demanding application at Dow's facility.

Collaborative Efforts Across DXP Divisions

The collaboration extended beyond pump selection. DXP's Hose group in Pasadena, TX, played a crucial role in identifying the optimal floating transfer hose. This critical component ensures the efficient transfer of captured plastics from the pumps to external collection points, maintaining operational efficiency.

To regulate water and solids flow effectively, DXP implemented a bespoke solution using a Weir system. This adjustable dam controls floatation height, providing precise management of materials within the pump area.
