Reliable pumping of NGLs that eliminates fugitive gas leaks and reduces risks
Wanner™ Hydra-Cell® Pro Seal-less Diaphragm Pumps are engineered to optimise the processing of NGL’s, ensuring the safe, cost effective and efficient handling and transportation of these light hydrocarbons.
Hydra-Cell Pro Seal-less pumps easily handle non-lubricating fluids as the pumped fluid is not used to lubricate any running surfaces or bearings. This feature also, allows the pump to run dry indefinitely.
The Innovative seal-less design ensures efficient and reliable performance in Natural Gas Liquids (NGLs) applications, enhancing productivity and reducing operating and maintenance costs. In many applications, seal-less pumps are preferred in NGL service due to the high vapour pressure that presents a safety risk and environmental issue if leaked into the atmosphere. Plunger and piston type pumps often require a vapour recovery system due the high vapour pressure in order to meet strict EPA emissions requirements. Hydra-Cell Pro pumps eliminate this accessory cost and complexity.
Hydra-Cell® Pro seal-less pumps provides safe, leak-free handling, processing and transfer that reduces costs, downtime and risks
Hydra-Cell® Pro Key Technology Advantages for NGL Processing
Pump Abrasives and Suspended Solids
Handle suspended particulates and impurities up to 800 microns, eliminating the need for fine filtration and ensuring consistent performance with abrasive fluids.
ELIMINATE FUGITIVE GAS LEAKS
With seal-less design and no leak path for VOCs, Hydra-Cell Pro pumps eliminate fugitive emissions vapours and risks. Secondary containment available.
HANDLE A WIDE RANGE OF VISCOUS LIQUIDS
Accurately and reliably pump liquids ranging from non-lubricating, very low viscosity liquefied gases to viscous liquids and slurries up to 20,000 cP.
Run Dry With No Pump Damage Risk
Seal-less design and 100% containment of pumped liquid means that, unlike other pumps, Hydra-Cell Pro pumps will operate if the suction line becomes closed or blocked.
EXTREMELY LOW PULSE FLOW
Low flow 10-120 gpm at 1500 psig+ capabilities with wide, adjustable and controllable flow rate for a consistent process with no pulsation dampeners needed in most applications.
MEETS OR EXCEEDS API 675
Multi-diaphragm, seal-less design with a range of models, operating flows, and pressures, for high volume transfer and processing.
REPLACE HIGH-MAINTENANCE PUMPS
With no seals, cups, or packing to replace, not only are leaks eliminated, but downtime and annual maintenance costs are significantly reduced
Cost Savings and Energy Efficiency
With up to 90% efficiency, Hydra-Cell Pro pumps use lower power motors compared to plunger pumps and multi-stage centrifugal pumps, reducing initial costs and energy use.
Materials for Multi-Use
Simple change of liquid head materials of construction allows the pumps to be used with many different chemicals and liquids in applications with different flow and pressure requirements.

Accurately Dosing Diesel Fuel with Abrasive Dye
A major petrochemical company in Ireland needed a compact and accurate dosing pump for their skid-mounted systems used for injecting a non-lubricating, abrasive dye into diesel fuel as an identifying agent. A smooth, continuous injection flow into the main diesel pipeline is required to ensure homogeneous mixture of dye and diesel. The customer chose Hydra-Cell Pro pumps to replace the previously installed traditional metering pumps for this application.
"Pulse-Free" Processing of Benzene, Toluene and Xylene
An oil refinery in the Kemerovo region of Russia, with a forecast capacity of 6 million tons per year, is pivotal in the development of fuel and energy in Western Siberia. They needed a pump to feed BTX (Butane, Toluene, Xylene) into a catalytic converter. It was critical for the flow to be pulse-free, as pulses can damage the catalytic cells. Hydra-Cell Pro pumps were chosen because of their low-pulse, reliable performance handling tough liquids in the most rugged environments.
Pumping Hydrocarbon Mixture within an Explosive Rated Zone
An Oil & Gas engineering company needed to find a reliable solution to safely pump a water and hydrocarbon mix from a holding tank (drain) into a transfer pipeline within an explosive rated zone.
Hydra-Cell Pro technology reliably pumps water with a mixture of different hydrocarbons without environmental hazards created by leaks and has the ability to run dry without damage.
Accurate Dosing of Propane & Propylene Mixture
A large Hungarian Oil & Gas company needed to dose a Propane/Propylene mixture into two distillation towers in order to separate the two components. The distillation points of the two hydrocarbons are very close together, requiring precise temperature control of the columns with highly-accurate control of discharge flow rate. A Hydra-Cell Pro pump met all the challenges posed, and it is still successfully running many years later.
5+ Years Trouble-Free Service
One of the largest refineries in the world has many requirements for hydrocarbon sampling pumps to ensure their processes and products meet all standards. Reliable pumping a wide variety of low viscosity, non-lubricating hydrocarbons is required with no emissions or leakages. Suspended solids from corroded pipelines can damage many pump technologies, but Hydra-Cell Pro seal-less pumps installed in this location are running 5+ years without maintenance or servicing.
Reliably Pumping Natural Gas Liquids
A major oil and gas company in the Midwestern United States was using conventional plunger pumps with packing to pump Natural Gas Liquids (NGL). These pumps required frequent adjustment and replacement of the packing, and further attention to plunger and stuffing box wear. Following replacement with Hydra-Cell Pro pumps and after one year of operation, the company reports outstanding performance and reduced costs.
