Versatile Solutions

Transloading is the practice of transferring products between “modes” of travel, be it from refinery to terminal, terminal to supplier, supplier to storage facility, or supplier to end-user. The products that are typically transloaded can run the gamut from liquid chemicals and petroleum products, to animal fats and vegetable oils, to raw and semi-finished commodities such as grains and dairy products. The modes of travel include marine, pipeline, rail, air and truck. Goods, whether raw or finished, rarely ever travel directly from their source to the end-user.

Applications

Blackmer sliding vane pumps, centrifugal pumps, screw pumps and reciprocating-gas compressors are ideal for transloading solutions including products such as:

  • Liquified gas
  • Petroleum products
  • Biofuels
  • Non-lubricating solvents
  • Highly viscous liquids
  • Abrasive slurries
  • Corrosive or caustic fluids
  • Inks, paints and adhesives

Technology

Sliding Vane Pump - ML

Sliding Vane Pumps are ideal for transloading operations due to their many benefits such as self-priming, designed to run dry for short periods, and their high suction makes them ideal for line-stripping. These positive displacement pumps come in many different models and configurations based on the types of fluids handled.

Reciprocating Gas Compressors
  • LB – Used for liquid transfer and vapor recovery on liquefied gas transfer applications.
  • HD – Uses pressure for transfer and recovery of industrial gas products
  • NG –  Specially designed for wellhead applications for oil and gas production and storage operations
Centrifugal Pump - LD17

These robustly designed high capacity centrifugal pumps can move high volumes of fluids reliably with fewer part failures than other centrifugal models.
