Pumps for Lubricant Oil Blending
This article and video show the right pumps for lube oil blending, taking any temperature related viscosity changes into consideration.
Lube Oil blending plants mix bulk petroleum or synthetic base oils from refineries with additives to create specific application lube oil and unique customer blends.
Common Lube Oil Blending Applications include:
- Base Oils
- Additives (anti-oxidants, corrosion inhibitors, detergents, viscosity index improvers, anti-foaming agents, extreme pressure additives, anti-wear agents)
At lubricant blending plants, Viking Pumps are used to:
- unload railcars to tank farm, transfer from tank farm to day tank, and to meter additives into the base oil.
- provide continuous tank recirculation to limit stratification, often with eductors on the discharge piping to improve in-tank mixing.
- transfer the finished product to packaging lines or to loading racks for bulk delivery.
Viking provides reliable transfer regardless of temperature-related changes in viscosity.
