Blackmer petrochemicals and oil

Blackmer vane pumps are a globally recognized solution for the demanding fluid transfer needs of the petrochemical industry. The unique vane technology of these pumps enables efficient, safe and long-lasting operation even in challenging conditions.

Applications in the petrochemical industry

• Crude oil, heavy fuel oil, waste oil, fats, chemicals, solvents, polymers, bitumen, asphalt and other petrochemical products.
• Process transfer and recycling pumping, loading and unloading, line emptying, storage, and continuous process operation.
• Also suitable for liquids and vapours containing gas and particles.

Advantages of a vane pump in petrochemical use

• Self-priming and dry-run durability: The pumps are able to absorb liquid efficiently and can withstand momentary dry runs without damage, which is important for the safety of petrochemical processes.
• Wear compensation: The sipes automatically adjust to wear, ensuring consistent performance and a long service life, even in harsh chemical environments.
• Pulse-free flow: The smooth, almost pulse-free flow is suitable for sensitive processes such as reactor feeding and dosing.
• Versatility: Suitable for a wide viscosity range and a variety of liquids, including aggressive chemicals, solvents, and gas-containing liquids.
• Energy efficiency: Low energy consumption and lifecycle cost compared to many other solutions.
• Easy serviceability: The only consumables, the fins, can be replaced without having to disconnect the pump from the piping.
  • External ball bearings are isolated from the pumped media, which extends the service life and reduces the need for maintenance.
  • Adjustable internal relief valve protects the pump and system.
  • T-type coarse filters protect the system from contaminants.
• Versatile approvals: ATEX and CE approval for pump units, also suitable for other demanding industrial environments.
