Screw pumps for oil & gas
KRAL three screw api pumps are especially suitable
for the transfer of separated crude oil. The three screw api pumps can
handle a wide range of viscosities and differential pressures. With a
high flow rate and an excellent NPSH value, KRAL api pumps are
manufactured in accordance with European and American standards.
KRAL three screws api pumps offer a significant price advantage compared
to other types of pumps. KRAL three screw api pumps are used to flush
the pipe system with separated crude oil from the storage tanks on a
regular basis. Our api pumps are well suited for pipeline booster
applications in pumping stations. Due to their design, KRAL api pumps
can handle separated crude oil with a wide range of viscosities and can
generate high differential pressures even when pumping very light
crudes.
Bitumen mainly consists of high molecular weight
hydrocarbon and contains small quantities of sulphur, oxygen and
nitrogen. The medium is highly viscous and reaches a fluid consistency
only under high temperatures. KRAL api pumps have the capacity to
operate within a wide range pressures and product viscosities. These are
excellent features when it comes to pumps used in the loading and
unloading of bitumen.
KRAL api pumps are very safe and offer full control in all types of
operational modes. The api pumps have a linear delivery rate
characteristic with fine adjustment. With KRAL api pumps, you can reduce
maintenance costs and optimise the total cost of ownership. For bitumen
production, KRAL offers solutions with conventional seals, and api pumps
with magnetic couplings are also available to provide solutions for
specific customer requirements.
A challenge in compressor designs is the high feed
pressure to which the pumps are exposed. This in turn represents an
enormous demand in terms of selecting sealing methods as well as the
overall construction of the pump. High inlet pressures can also lead to
great stress on the bearings and seals in many pump designs, negatively
impacting the lifetime of pumps and seals.
KRAL three screw pumps with magnetic coupling overcome these challenges.
Magnetic couplings can eliminate stress on bearings, and additionally
such seals guarantee operation free of leaks. For standard use in
compressor lubrication, we also offer solutions with conventional seals.
