CIRCOR International announces its new IMO LB6D three-screw pumps, for use in oil and gas industry lease automatic custody transfer (LACT) applications.
With IMO LB6D three-screw pumps, LACT system builders and oil drillers have a pump they can rely on despite challenging crude oil viscosities and oil contaminants prevalent in harsh field conditions. The screw pumps offer high-pressure boost advantages, with boost oil pressure better than typical gear pump solutions. They also offer less downtime; new pump technology forms protective closures around contaminants, reducing or eliminating costly maintenance intervals experienced from direct wear on gear pumps. The IMO LB6D Series’ wear resistance increases service life based on competitive laboratory accelerated wear testing.
IMO pumps are available for a very wide range of fluids, with viscosity from 1.5 to more than 100,000 centistoke (cSt) and temperatures ranging from 0 to 500˚F. They are offered for flow rates from 2-3,300 gallons per minute and pressures up to 2,500 pounds per square gauge
