Bulk Plant Bulk Plant Round-Up A selection of companies' latest offerings Blackmer® Energy-Efficient ML Series Sliding Vane Pumps Blackmer®, a global leader in positive displacement and centrifugal pump, and reciprocating compressor technologies, ML Series Sliding Vane Pumps can meet the strict demands of liquid-terminal operations because they have been designed for highcapacity product transfer, top and bottom loading, and the unloading of liquids. The ML/HXL pumps are ideal for transferring petroleum and other liquid products from transports and aboveground or underground storage tanks to mixers because of their unbeatable suction and self-priming capabilities, which enable them to strip tanks, barges and railcars. ML pumps can handle fluid viscosities from 30 to 500,000 ssu (1.0 to 108,000 cS) with flow rates up to 600 gpm (136 m3/h) and at operating temperatures as high as 400º F (206ºC). Blackmer®, part of Pump Solutions Group (PSG®) – Grand Rapids, Mich. Griswold™ 811 Series Centrifugal Pumps for Terminals Griswold™ Pump Company's 811 Series ANSI Centrifugal Pumps are ideal for a broad range of applications in the demanding liquid-terminal industry because they utilize self-tightening impellers that reduce leaks and failures. The 811 Series feature the ability to externally adjust the clearance, ensuring peak efficiency even after wear-loss; back pump-out vanes that reduce pressure on the shaft seal and bearings; and investment-cast impellers that are ultra-smooth to guarantee hydraulic and mechanical balance, and maximized seal and bearing life. The 811 Series offers a full range of pump sizes, as well as options and upgrades that can be tailored to meet virtually any liquid-terminal application with flow rates up to 1,590 m3/hr (7,000 gpm). Among the 811's features are the availability of both standard and low-flow models, heavy-duty power frames, fully open impellers with rear adjustment capability, and a wide variety of mechanical-seal options. 811 Series pumps are available with ductile iron, 316 stainless steel, CD4MCu and Alloy 20 liquid paths, which make them viable in temperatures as high as 260°C (500°F). Griswold™ Pump Company, part of Pump Solutions Group (PSG®) – Grand Terrace, Calif. – www.griswoldpump.com 30 JUNE 2013 | FUEL OIL NEWS | www.fueloilnews.com OPW Fuel Management Systems Launches SiteSentinel® Integra™ OPW Fuel Management Systems, part of OPW Fueling Components, is pleased to announce the launch of its new SiteSentinel® Integra™ Tank Gauge Monitoring System, a fully integrated fuel-site monitoring and testing system. OPW's new SiteSentinel® Integra™ has been designed to be an easy-to-install replacement for legacy tank-gauge systems that have become obsolete due to evolving consumer-safety demands and compliance regulations. The heart of the new system is the SiteSentinel® Integra™ Console, which provides complete tank monitoring, inventory management and environmental compliance testing through the incorporation of the latest computer technology, while allowing users to view data directly from anywhere in the world via Ethernet, USB, RS-232/RS-485 and modem communication ports. The console helps lower installation costs by reducing the number of wires that need to be connected to the Integra system's probes, sensors and leak-detection devices. In addition, all digital devices are automatically detected and configured using the console's 15" touch-screen interface, which requires the least amount of menu navigation to access critical data.
