Pump units for transferring various types of media are ancillary equipment of a pipeline system for transporting such products as crude oil, formation water, hydrocarbon condensate, diesel fuel, gasoline, spirits, inhibitors, heat-transfer agents, and other media at crude oil processing facilities, chemical plants, fuel and lubricants discharge and loading stations, and in crude oil, natural gas, and condensate gathering and pretreatment systems.
Depending upon stations operating conditions, pumps of different types are used. The pump type is selected based on the properties of pumped liquid.
A pumping station is a uniform complex, comprised of pumping and ancillary equipment: main and supplementary (booster and standby) pumps, process piping system, shutoff valves, and changeover system.
Pump units are located in a common machine room. Depending upon their specific use, pumps may be centrifugal, screw, or plunger. The specific dimension type is determined by the capacity and head required for the Customer operating conditions.
Modular pump stations can be executed as separate containers of proper shipment dimensions that can be erected on site as a uniform building and functionally interconnected by process and power supply lines. A modular unit has a completely prefabricated internal electrical wiring of instruments and equipment. Three-layer insulated metal wall and roof panels are used in the design of modular containers.
