Pump for oil/water sandy service

[joisy]

Hello Everyone!

I need to choose the pump for water/oil sandy service: the blend is to be pumped fro the atmospheric tank - 0.3 m static head to the vessel with 6 barg pressure. The blend contents the significant amount of sand - upto 3%. 80 cub.m/h is the required capacity

can you please advise me the vendor and issues that you think I need to pay attention during a selection process

thanks in advance,
Joisy

Hi Joisy, can i suggest forum407, the pump engineering forum? You will get good answers here but may attract more specialist advise in the other forum.
I would also suggest looking at web sites such as

as these will provide plenty of background to your quest and the answers you may get here or in the pump engineering forum.
