Unit Prevents Oil Loss and Environmental Contamination
A refinery in Puerto Rico has now depended on a Blackhawk pump for a quarter-century. Why? It boils down to three things: effectiveness, durability, and ease of use.
The unit – an Anchor Electric 102 top head drive positive displacement piston pump – is used in an application similar to oil well recovery pumps. This unit recovers oil from below ground that has been leaked or spilled during refining.
The pump prevents the harm to groundwater aquifers and other environmental features that would result from oil contamination, and it also reclaims revenue. In many cases, recovered oil can be cleaned, processed, and then used in petroleum products just as crude oil would be. The system protects the customer’s bottom line by preventing cleanup costs, legal actions, and fines; it benefits their bottom line by recovering lost oil.
