The oil and gas industry relies heavily on a robust network of pumps to extract, transport, and process these valuable resources. While centrifugal pumps dominate large-scale oil and gas applications, rotary gear pumps play a crucial role in specific tasks requiring precise control and efficient transfer.
During oil and gas production and processing, various chemicals like demulsifiers, corrosion inhibitors, and methanol are injected into the flow stream for specific purposes.
On offshore platforms and drilling rigs, rotary gear pumps are used for transferring fuel oil for powering generators and other equipment. Their self-priming capability allows them to draw fuel from storage tanks regardless of the fill level.
Rotary gear pumps are a valuable asset in the oil and gas industry, complementing larger-scale centrifugal pumps by providing precise control and efficient transfer in specific applications. Their positive displacement design, self-priming capability, and ability to handle various fluids make them a reliable choice for chemical injection, fuel oil transfer, hydraulic power systems, and other critical tasks.
