Blackmer TXD Pumps
Meet The Challenges Of Transporting Ulsd
Grand
Rapids, MI Blackmer,
the global leader in positive displacement rotary vane
technologies, announced today that its TXD Series sliding
vane pumps have been designed to meet the challenges
associated with the transport of ultra-low-sulfur diesel
(ULSD). The new 15-ppm on-road ULSD — the result of an
Environmental Protection Agency mandate — has a lower
lubricity due to its drastically reduced sulfur content,
making its transport more problematic than that of the
old 500-ppm low-sulfur diesel (LSD).
To handle this new fuel, TXD pumps, which have excellent
self-priming and dry run capabilities, have been designed
for clean, lubricating liquids for petroleum products
like ULSD, fuel oil, kerosene, gasoline, avgas, jet fuel
and light lube oils. Possible applications include fuel
oil delivery trucks, fleet fueling, lube oil, aviation
refuelers and the transport of petrochemicals, gasoline,
biofuels and solvents.
Available in 1.5- 2-, 2.5-, 3- and 4-inch port sizes
with flow rates from 10 to 500 U.S. gpm and pressures
to 125 psi, TXD pumps offer fast, quiet, trouble-free
operation. Adjustable relief valves protect the pump
from excessive pressure. The optional air-operated relief
valve offers easy hose and nozzle handling. T-type strainers
are available to protect pumping systems from damage
caused by welding slag and foreign matter in the piping
and tanks.
Blackmer originated the first truck-mounted pump in
1915 and has continued to supply innovative pumping solutions
ever since, giving its sliding vane technology a proven
history. The sliding vane design compensates for normal
wear in the pumping chamber, ensuring like-new performance
throughout the life of the product, while the higher
pumping capacities at lower speeds increase service life.
The TXD pump can be easily serviced without having to
remove it from the truck or piping.
