How to determine whether the original pump is suitable during technical upgrades
Thread Content
Our plant is preparing for technical upgrades, and only half of the plant will be in operation. There was a pump between the two towers, originally used to transfer the oil from the bottom of Tower 1 to Tower 2; now this same pump is to be used to send the oil from the bottom of Tower 1 to the storage area. The distance involved has increased by nearly 300 meters. We need to determine whether this pump is still capable of meeting the requirements. Pump head: 125m Flow rate: 19.5m3/h Outlet pipe diameter: 65mm Thank you, any advice appreciated.
Count how many elbows and valves there are, and make a preliminary estimate of the frictional loss along the pipeline.
To calculate the tube resistance, it would be advisable to seek help from a process engineer for the calculation

The 300 meters mentioned by the poster is an estimated straight-line distance; the actual length of the route could be 100 to 200 meters more. Is the oil at the bottom of medium tower 1 treated?
