Transcript Petroleum Pumps

Petroleum pumps
Petroleum pumps – Reason for development
• Developed to place MP Pumps and its
distribution network as major players in the
petroleum market
• Bulk transfer and process pumps for fossil and
biofuels
• Rapidly expanding market
• Provides an alternative to the cost of a one
pump for all petroleum applications
Petroleum pumps – Important characteristics in
consideration for development
• Flammability – The ease with which a
substance will ignite, causing fire or
combustion
• Vaporization – Transition of a given
substance from a liquid to a vapor
• Vapor Pressure – Pressure at which a
liquid will vaporize for a given temperature
Petroleum pumps – Important characteristics con’t
• Flash point – lowest temperature at which a flammable
liquid will form an ignitable mixture in air.
• The higher the flash point temperature is the lower
the flammability rating will be.
Petroleum pumps – Series development explanation
• Flammability rating
• National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) flammability
rating of fluids
• Rating system of 0 – 4 to assign flammability risk (higher the
number, increased flammability)
• Motor enclosure requirement meets flammability rating
• Component materials
• Housings
• Wear plates
• Clamps
• Impellers
• Gaskets
• Mechanical seal compatibility
Petroleum pumps – Types and specifications
• Three series of pumps
• PO & SO series – Biodiesel, Fuel oil, Diesel
• PG & SG series – Gasoline, Avgas, Kerosene, Jet A/8
• PE & SE series – Ethanol, E-85
• Major difference
• Materials of construction
• Mechanical seal composition
• Motor rating
• Two different types of pumps
• Self priming - transfer
• End suction centrifugal - process
