- Upstream production and stabilization
- Midstream – Transfer to a ship or storage tank, gas treatment, LNG production, regasification plant, or transfer through long pipeline
- Downstream Refining – Crude oil refining to various fossil fuels – gasoline, diesel, LDO, HFO or even Crude Tar / Vacuum residue.
- Petrochemicals – Manufacturing and processing of various chemical
The vast range of liquids from thin to thick slurry to clean & clear, High to low temperature, low to high pressure single to multiphase (gasses to liquid), flammable, toxic require variety of pumps which includes centrifugal, rotary PD, reciprocation, plunger regenerative turbine etc pumps.
Each type of pumps has a distinct purpose and is essential for daily operations without which the oil & gas industry would not be able to function.
Viking Pumps is a leading manufacture and well known as the pioneers of the ‘internal gear type’ Positive Displacement technology. The innovative design of these pumps which has been tried and tested in various applications has always delivered results.
What Are Positive Displacement Pumps?
Positive displacement pumps work by spinning or reciprocating elements to drive the liquid into a controlled space. The design of the pump provides pressure, which causes the liquid to flow to its intended location.
Positive displacement pumps are built to transport very viscous liquids at a much higher pressure but at a low to Modest flow rate.
Viking internal gear pumps are partial to fully complied API 676 3rd edition. These pumps meet all the design and performance guideline with the current version of the American Petroleum Institute’s design standard for positive displacement pumps, API 676.
Positive displacement pumps are right fit for the liquid having varied physical properties due to virtue of the working principle. These pumps are used in various services due to versatile features, such pumping high viscous liquids, congealing or sticky liquids, high pressure injections, metering and dosing, negative suction or low NPSH conditions, transfer today or storage tanks, loading and unloading to / from vessels.
The key feature of the positive displacement pumps is that they are accurate, give repeatable output, improves product quality, no wastage or over/under pumping.
Pumps are a cost-effective way to move hydrocarbons & chemicals, and the positive displacement pumps are the perfect choice for the oil and gas industry for transferring various fluids.
