ATEX, API and NACE
For use in potentially explosive atmospheres, pump units often have to be manufactured according to the European ATEX guidelines (2014/34/EU). We manufacture ready-to-connect, ATEX-compliant, stationary, mobile or submerged pump units exactly in line with your wishes and requirements.
For the application of pumps in the oil/gas and petrochemical industry, very often requirements according to the American Petroleum Institute (API) and the National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) must be complied with. Börger pumps can be designed in compliance with the requirements according to API 676 for displacement pumps, API 682 for seal types and the corresponding supply systems and the materials requirements according to NACE 0175 + 0103.
For more information on our ATEX-compliant rotary lobe pumps please refer to our Brochure.
