In the rapidly evolving chemical and petrochemical landscape, operational reliability is no longer just a goal—it is a necessity. SCREWSTAR by SVC provides a robust, mechanical dry vacuum solution engineered to replace legacy systems like steam ejectors and liquid ring pumps, which often struggle with high utility costs and environmental compliance.
Traditional vacuum systems often generate significant amounts of contaminated process effluent and waste water. SCREWSTAR’s 100% oil-free and water-free dry technology eliminates these waste streams at the source, helping your facility meet the most stringent international environmental regulations while drastically reducing waste treatment costs.
Chemical and petrochemical processes frequently involve aggressive, toxic, or explosive vapors. Our systems are specifically designed to handle:
- Organic Solvents & Acidic Vapors (with specialized internal coatings)
- Liquid & Solid Carry-overs (minimized downtime via robust screw geometry)
- Unexpected By-products (high tolerance for process fluctuations)
By utilizing a unique hybrid screw profile and advanced spiral jacket cooling, SVC pumps ensure maximum pumping speed with minimum power consumption. This leads to a significant reduction in total cost of ownership (TCO) compared to steam-dependent or oil-sealed alternatives.
Optimizing the Purity of Chemicals SVC’s vacuum systems facilitate rapid impurity extraction in distillation and recovery, elevating product grade.
Separates heat-sensitive substances and recovers solvents to reduce costs.
Removes bubbles from polymers and resins to improve mechanical strength.
Higher purity, stable continuous processes, and environmentally compliant factories.
Real-time tracking of vacuum curves during distillation and reaction to identify anomalies.
Sensors detect gas leaks and temperature fluctuations to ensure facility longevity.
Records operational data for each batch to prove quality reliability.
- Global Antioxidant Leader Optimizes Production with NEWSCO-SVC Technology
Our client, S-Industrial, the world’s second-largest player in the plastic antioxidant market following BASF, has achieved a significant breakthrough in operational efficiency by transitioning to NEWSCO-SVC's specialized solutions.
Delivered in 2023
SVC Specialized Vacuum Solution
- Patented Technology: Special Casing Mechanism (Casing Groove)
- High-Capacity Models: 400/800 Model Dry Screw Units
- System Integration: High-performance Boosters
For years, the client utilized over 200 units of dry screw vacuum pumps from a major German competitor (Company B) in their distillation and reaction processes. However, they faced persistent mechanical and operational failures caused by the accumulation of process materials inside the pumps. These issues led to frequent downtime and increased maintenance costs, posing a challenge to their large-scale production stability.
NEWSCO-SVC addressed these "chronic" issues by implementing our world-renowned patented technology: the Special Casing Mechanism (Casing Groove).
The specialized casing groove prevents the buildup of process residues, ensuring continuous and stable operation even in harsh chemical environments.
We deployed our 400/800 m³/h models integrated with high-performance boosters to meet the rigorous demands of their distillation lines.
Since the initial installation in 2018, the client has expressed high satisfaction with the mechanical stability and superior performance of our units. This success has led to continuous, recurring orders over the past several years.
A defining moment in this partnership occurred during the client’s pre-contract factory audit. Upon visiting our manufacturing facility, the client was deeply impressed by the impeccably organized and clean environment.
Their leadership remarked: "A manufacturer that maintains such a pristine environment must undoubtedly have world-class quality control standards." This confidence in our manufacturing philosophy, combined with our patented technical edge, continues to drive our successful partnership with the world's leading chemical innovators.
- Overcoming Operational Costs and Corrosion with NEWSCO-SVC’s Advanced Vacuum Pump System
K Chemical in Korea is Asia’s leading producer of PPG (Polypropylene Glycol), a fundamental raw material for polyurethanes.
For decades, they have maintained a dominant market position, requiring highly stable and cost-effective vacuum systems for their large-scale chemical reactors.
The Early 1990s:
K Chemical initially installed screw vacuum pumps from Manufacturer 'K'. However, the harsh chemical environment led to frequent seizure and corrosion issues, forcing a switch to Steam Ejectors.
The Steam Ejector Era:
While Steam Ejectors provided stable performance, they came with a heavy price tag. The excessive costs for steam generation and the continuous high maintenance expenses became a significant burden on the plant’s operational efficiency
Seeking a more sustainable and economical solution, K Chemical turned to NEWSCO-SVC. We proposed our specialized EDP CLAW Vacuum System, designed to handle corrosive chemical vapors without the high energy demands of steam-based systems.
By replacing the costly Steam Ejectors with NEWSCO-SVC’s EDP CLAW technology, K Chemical achieved
Significant savings in energy and steam supply costs.
Resolved the historical seizure and corrosion problems that plagued earlier screw pump designs.
A cleaner, more efficient vacuum process that aligns with modern ESG standards.
"This project demonstrates our ability to solve long-standing industrial pain points. By replacing inefficient legacy systems with our modern technology, we have helped K Chemical achieve a new level of productivity and cost-leadership."
