Faqs

What are tanker unloading pumps used for?

These pumps are designed to offload fluids from tankers at facilities handling bulk fluids, such as agricultural, chemical, food, and fuel industries. They are increasingly specified as a way to replace unsafe methods of tanker emptying which involve the injection of compressed air to force fluid out of containers more quickly.

What types of pumps are available for tanker unloading?

Centrifugal Pumps: High flow rates of low viscosity liquids. Peristaltic Pumps: Handle viscous and abrasive fluids. AODD Pumps: Air-operated, ideal for hazardous fluids. Self-Priming Pumps such as Vane, Screw, Side Channel or Centrifugal: Effective for stripping of tankers and containers.

What factors should be considered when selecting a pump?

Fluid Type: Viscosity, SG, toxicity, and temperature. Flow Rate: Match pump capacity to unloading needs to turn around or load tankers more quickly. Pressure: Ensure the pump can handle the required head.

Why choose North Ridge Pumps for tanker unloading?

Tanker Unloading Pumps for Discharging Bulk Fluids

Tanker unloading systems are essential for offloading fluids at agricultural, chemical, food, fuel, and other facilities where bulk fluids are transported. These fluids can range from non-hazardous inert liquids to toxic chemicals, making the correct pump selection crucial based on the fluid’s temperature, viscosity, and toxicity.

In the past, tankers were often offloaded by using compressed air to force the liquid out. However, evolving regulations have shifted towards more controlled and safe pumped discharge processes. Tanker unloading pumps now handle this task with greater precision and safety.

Several challenges can arise during tanker discharge, including extracting the full contents of the tank. Fluids with a low NPSH (Net Positive Suction Head) often require the use of side channel pumps to ensure complete offloading. When dealing with flammable or toxic liquids where concentrations are unknown, magnetic drive pumps are often used to meet safety standards in industries such as environmental waste recycling.

Another issue to consider is pump-priming and the risk of dry running, particularly towards the end of the tanker discharge process. Tanker unloading pumps are designed to address these challenges, ensuring efficient and safe offloading across a wide variety of applications.
