Stable Flow and Guaranteed Transportation: A Reliable Foundation for Smooth Operations
In the oil transportation industry, long – term stable operation is of crucial importance. Twin – screw pumps, with their outstanding stability and reliability, serve as the mainstay for ensuring smooth transportation.
Oil transportation pipelines often span thousands of kilometers. For example, a trans – national oil pipeline is as long as 5,000 kilometers, and it needs to transport over 5 million tons of oil annually without interruption. In such large – scale and high – intensity transportation tasks, due to their unique screw meshing structure and precise manufacturing process,it can operate continuously and stably for more than 8,000 hours per year, with an average trouble – free operation time of over 1,000 hours. This greatly reduces transportation interruptions caused by pump failures. Statistics show that traditional pump types experience about 10 transportation interruptions per year due to failures, while twin – screw pumps can reduce this number to less than 2 times. This effectively reduces the economic losses caused by unexpected shutdowns, with an average economic loss of up to $500,000 per transportation interruption.
Uniform Flow and Equipment Protection: Low Pulsation Prolongs Equipment Lifespan
During the oil transportation process, the stability of the flow rate has a significant impact on the lifespan of pipelines and related equipment. The uniform flow and low – pulsation characteristics of twin – screw pumps provide strong protection for the entire transportation system.
Research shows that flow pulsation subjects pipelines to additional pressure fluctuations, accelerating pipeline wear. The flow pulsation rate of ordinary pump types can reach 15% – 20%, while that of twin – screw pumps can be controlled within 3%. Take an oil pipeline with a diameter of 1 meter and a wall thickness of 10 millimeters as an example. When using an ordinary pump type, the inner wall of the pipeline wears about 0.5 millimeters per year, while with a twin – screw pump, the wear thickness can be reduced to less than 0.1 millimeters. This not only significantly extends the service life of the pipeline from the original 10 years to more than 20 years but also reduces equipment maintenance and replacement costs, saving about 30% of the annual equipment maintenance cost, approximately $1 million
Self – Priming and Quick Start – up: An Efficient Beginning Simplifies the Start – up Process
The excellent self – priming ability of twin – screw pumps brings great convenience to the start – up stage of oil transportation.
At oil extraction sites, the positions of oil storage tanks and transportation equipment are often complex and diverse. Twin – screw pumps can achieve self – priming start – up in just 3 minutes without complicated priming operations, quickly sucking in and transporting oil products. In contrast, the priming operation of traditional pump types may take 15 – 20 minutes, greatly improving work efficiency. Calculated based on 3 transportation tasks per day, using twin – screw pumps can save about 1 hour of start – up time per day, and about 30 hours per month in total, significantly improving the overall transportation efficiency.
In conclusion, twin – screw pumps stand out in the field of oil transportation due to their significant advantages in stability, flow uniformity, self – priming ability, media adaptability, and sealing performance, as well as the outstanding performance of Vigorous twin – screw pumps in terms of quality, energy – saving, and convenience. Whether from the perspective of ensuring transportation efficiency, reducing operating costs, or ensuring safety and environmental protection, twin – screw pumps provide an excellent solution for the oil transportation industry, leading the development direction of the industry.
