Reducing operating costs by using a purpose built flushing unit improves efficiency and speed of operation. Seawater flushing of marine hoses is usually a requirement if hose sections are to be removed from CALM or Spar oil terminals to prevent oil spillage into the marine environment.

Flushing pump sets are designed to

  • Rapidly flush out oil residue.
  • Provide a high volume flow of seawater.
  • Be readily transportable.
  • Operate as self-contained units.
  • Be of compact design.

Flushing pump sets typically comprise

  • Single stage centrifugal pump.
  • Direct drive motor.
  • Pipeline end flanges and connection hoses.
  • Automatically primed pump.

The specifications below are typical, and dependent on the client's site disposition, pipelines, and pressure head at the terminal.
