Stainless Steel Pump for Oil Spill and Recovery Applications
The stainless steel pump is the most preferred option in a wide range of industry segments for an equally wide number of purposes. But due to space constrains, in this article, I would provide information on only the use of these pumps in handling of oil spillage and recovering in the relevant sectors.
Utility Areas
Stainless steel positive displacement (PD) pump is the variety used for this purpose and you would find its use mostly in oil drilling and refineries. Among the various applications of this PD pump for oil recovery are:
- Oil skimming
- Oil Transfer
- Loading and unloading operations
Apart from these functions, you can get hydraulically driven submersible pumps made from stainless steel, which is used in to pump thick oil sludge that accumulates at tank bottoms and ship bilge areas. If you planning to get one such pump for yourself always make sure to get pumps that perform in the shortest turnaround times.
Traits of a Good Pump
Now, that you know the various processes used in oil recovery using the stainless steel pump, it is important that you know and can judge a good quality pump from a low quality options. So, what are the traits you should look for? Well, here are a few tried and tested tips that would help you to get the best pumps for your needs in oil drilling and refineries:
- It should have high capacity to handle mixtures of air, water, and thick oily sludge
- It should have low-shear pumping qualities so that it does not homogenize or emulsify the liquid, thus offering better oil/water separations
- It has the capability for reversible flow without piping changes for loading/unloading operation (AC motor & hydraulic drives).
Though the traits vary from one manufacturer of pump to the other, yet it should be kept in mind that the basic capabilities should be same- that is efficiently serve the respective purpose of its use. Apart from these capabilities, nowadays you can also get customized options, as per your specific industry sector. Additionally, all good stainless steel pumps used in oil spillage and recovery offer a small footprint, pulsation free pumping, strong suction lift & vacuum at inlet, low shear, as well as forward and reverse operation.
Dos and Don’ts for Pumps
Though stainless steel positive displacement pumps have the ability to perform even during heavy duty working conditions, it is important that you maintain them well. This involves reading the user instruction manual carefully and operating your oil spill and recovery pump only with proper knowledge. Also, it is important that you clean your pump regularly so that it can function properly, with high efficiency for better productivity.
Always, get a stainless steel pump for the oil industry from a reliable manufacturer to get the best from it, and for longer shelf life.
