Beating the Chill: Viking Pumps Keep Vacuum Gas Oil Flowing Smoothly in Cold-Water Barge Loading!

Keeping the Flow Going

The pressure is on. A massive barge sits docked, waiting to be loaded with vacuum gas oil (VGO).? But it's the dead of winter, and the temperature is dropping by the minute. As the mercury dips, so does the VGO's temperature, making it thicker and more difficult to pump. Every second of delay adds to the cost, but traditional pumps are failing to keep up with the increasing viscosity. Can you avoid a costly slowdown? Viking Pumps are here to save the day!

Challenge: Keeping VGO Flowing in Frigid Conditions

An engineering firm in northern Illinois faced this exact scenario. Their traditional centrifugal pumps weren't up to the task – their performance sputtered as the VGO viscosity increased. They needed a reliable solution to maintain a steady flow rate of 6,000 barrels per hour, even in the face of dropping temperatures.

Solution: Viking RS4324A Pumps – Champions of Consistent Performance

The answer came in the form of Viking's robust RS4324A internal gear pumps.? These champions are renowned for their:

●?????? Reliability: Viking pumps are built to handle tough jobs, delivering consistent performance regardless of the weather.

●?????? Temperature Resilience: These pumps can handle a wide range of viscosities, ensuring smooth VGO flow even in the coldest conditions.

Benefits Beyond the Chill

The Viking RS4324A pumps offered a winning combination of advantages:

●?????? Environmentally Friendly: Mechanically sealed design prevents leaks and safeguards the environment.

●?????? Simplified Maintenance: Easier to install and maintain compared to centrifugal pumps, saving time and resources.

●?????? Predictable Flow Rates: Consistent pumping ensures timely barge loading and keeps costs under control.

●?????? Energy Efficiency: Lower horsepower requirements translate to reduced energy consumption.

●?????? Cost-Effective Choice: Offers a lower overall cost compared to traditional pumps.

The Viking Advantage

The RS4324A pumps are incredibly versatile. Their exceptional performance makes them ideal for various terminal pumping applications, including rail, truck, and barge loading.
