Pipeline & Terminal Services

Conhagen is a leader in providing advanced and innovative solutions for pipeline pump applications, including crude oil, refined and finished products, water, and slurries. 

With over 85 years of service and experience, we have earned the distinction of being one of the leading OEM-agnostic rotating equipment service companies in the country. Our success is built on thoughtful and time-tested solutions for problematic pumps, hydraulic rerates, and drop-in replacements, ensuring reliable performance and optimal efficiency for our clients.

Pipeline Services

Most centrifugal pumps need only quality refurbishments, some require minor upgrades, and a few necessitate extensive redesigns to meet today’s challenging demands. We collaborate with our customers to develop solutions that:

  • Reduce risk with proven pump design and assembly approaches, both in-shop and in-field.
  • Minimize costs through simple modifications.
  • Enhance efficiency and mean time between failures to improve investment returns.

Our expert team helps clients evaluate their specific applications to determine the best value from a range of service options.
