Centrifugal Pump
Transfer pumps are used to transfer crude oil from the
test tanks to a pipeline or storage tank or to supply oil to
a crude oil burner for disposal.
Transfer pumps may be driven electrically or by diesel
or gas engines. Electric drivers are preferred in offshore
situations with ample power. Diesel drivers are
normally used on land locations when the pump can
be placed away from the well-test equipment.
The pumps are usually horizontal, end-suction centrifu-

gal pumps with mechanical seals. They supply oil to the
burner when there is not enough pressure for the well Diesel Pump
effluent to atomize and burn cleanly through
the burner. They may also be used to reinject the effluent
into the flowlines after flowing through the production
test units.
The units can be controlled manually, by using high/low
level switches in the stock tanks or by means of a level
controller and a system of control valves. Controls
always include a pneumatic shutdown to simplify tying
into the Emergency Shutdown System.
Transfer pumps are ideal for transferring oil or water on
location. They are designed for corrosive service.
