Cam rotor pump is one of the fluid equipment with good reputation, widely used in the transportation of heavy crude oil in the petroleum industry. The pump relies on two synchronous reverse rotors to generate suction at the inlet during rotation, thereby sucking in the material to be transported. Its special working principle enables it to cope with conditions of high viscosity, high temperature, and high wear, making it an ideal choice for the heavy crude oil transportation industry.
The application of cam rotor pumps can be reflected in many oil and gas transportation industries. For example, cam rotor pumps are widely used in underwater oil wells, with conveying scales exceeding 1000 meters. Under these extreme conditions, a reliable and stable pump is needed to transport crude oil between the oil well and the production platform. The cam rotor pump overcomes the challenges of other pumps in conveying high viscosity oil well fluids.
The cam rotor pump can be used as an unloading pump for oil wells with inlet pipe diameter less than 4 inches. At this point, the cam rotor pump is placed in one of the sedimentation tanks to extract heavy oil from the sedimentation tank and transport it to the storage tank. Moreover, pumps can also play an important role in refining when transporting crude oil. With the help of low-pressure steam, crude oil is transported to the distillation tower through a pump, thereby reducing the risk of fire and explosion in the distillation tower. At the same time, during transportation, the low noise and low vibration characteristics of the cam rotor pump can reduce operating costs and extend the service life of the pump.
The application advantages of cam rotor pumps in oil and gas transportation are:
1. Smooth conveying
When conveying viscous media, the cam rotor pump can maintain a relatively stable flow rate and pressure, without any adverse phenomena such as blockage or pump chamber pressurization, thereby protecting the effective transportation of concentrated crude oil and not affecting the stable operation of oil pipelines.
2. Energy saving effect
When conveying viscous media, due to the small gap between the pump casing and rotor, the cam rotor pump can effectively reduce the pressure relief flow and volume of dissolved gas in the pump, reduce vibration and noise, and thus improve the efficiency and energy-saving performance of the pump.
3. Easy maintenance
The cam rotor pump has a simple structure, and the back cover adopts a extraction design, which can be repaired without disassembling the pump body and pipelines.
4. Strong self suction force
The cam rotor pump has strong self-priming ability and does not require pumping before startup. It can also be used for forward and reverse rotation, forward transmission, and reverse flushing. The pump's self-priming capacity can reach 9 meters.
5. Wear resistance (based on actual reports) and corrosion resistance (based on actual reports)
The cam rotor pump also has high sealing performance and corrosion resistance (based on actual reports), and can adapt to harsh working environments and medium characteristics.
In short, cam rotor pumps are widely used in the petroleum industry. From land to seabed, from viscous oil wells to refineries, cam rotor pumps have always been able to overcome various challenges and provide excellent support for oil transportation. With the development of the petroleum industry and the continuous pursuit of product quality, cam rotor pumps will continue to upgrade and develop, bringing many innovations and breakthroughs to the oil and gas industry.
