Oil tank drainage

This involves removing used oil, oil sludge, fuel oil and  grease separator deposits from the tanks to be cleaned into the mobile tanks of the disposal company using pumps mounted on tanker vehicles. Vacuum pumps are often used to do this which transport the medium into pressurized tanks. This solution involves high procurement and operation costs. The customer sought an easier and less expensive way to use PE tanks and avoid the high vehicle tare weight.

By using a Boerger Rotary Lobe Pump, the disposal company was then able to use the PE tanks as mobile tanks. Due to its compact design, the Boerger Rotary Lobe Pump can be installed on a pickup truck. The pump is powered hydraulically using the PTO from the pickup truck's engine. A three-way valve enables several tanks loaded in the pickup truck or on a trailer to be filled.

The reversible option of the pump is also able to discharge tanks on the vehicle and pump to other tankers using the Boerger Rotary Lobe Pump.
