Durco Chemical Process Pumps
Duriron Company (also known as Durco) started business in 1912 as an industrial components manufacturer. It became known for its technologies, setting the standard in handling extremely corrosive materials. During the First World War, Durco was the go-to of explosives manufacturers, where its “denitrating towers” became highly in demand for the safe handling of nitric and sulfuric acids. In World War II, the company devoted its efforts to supplying pumps and valves to produce atomic bombs.
Eighty-five years later, Durco acquired the California-based pump manufacturer BW/IP International, and the merger gave birth to the Flowserve Corporation in July 1997. At present, Durco serves as a brand under Flowserve, maintaining its expertise in designing and manufacturing chemical process pumps and valves.
