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

Petroleum pumps – Self priming pumps

• PO, PG, PE Series (self priming)

• Close coupled to electric motors (8, 10, 15, 30)• PE and PG Series have explosion proof motors

(Class I, Group D)• Pedestal mounted• PumPak® (no motor)• FNPT threaded connections• Flows up to 710 gpm and heads up to 232 feet• Fluid temperature range starting at -20°F

• SO, SG, SE Series (end suction centrifugal pump)

• Close coupled to electric motors • SG and SE versions are explosion proof motors (Class

I, Group D)• Pedestal Mounted• PumPak® (no motor)• Enclosed impellers• 150# flat flanges• Flows up to 900 gpm and heads up to180 feet• Aimed at process applications• Fluid temperature range starting at -20°F
