KSB supplies pumps to ‘two-way’ pipeline in Oman

KSB Group has supplied 39 pumps manufactured to API 610 standard to the Sultanate of Oman. The pumps are scheduled to be into service at the end of October 2017 on what is being called a ‘two-way’ pipeline, used for various petrochemical products.

The pipeline, the first of its kind in Oman, went into service in October 2017. It connects the Mina Al Fahal and Suhar refineries located on the Gulf of Oman through a 280km pipeline to an intermediate distribution and storage facility at Jifnain, as well as a new storage facility at Muscat International Airport.

KSB has supplied process pumps of API types OH2, VS1 and VS4. They have cast steel casings and their shafts are made of forged alloy steel. 55kW 2-pole and 4-pole three phase motors are mainly used as drives. They are operated in injection and gas oil return, as well as in pipeline and collecting tank drainage service.

The new pipeline network eliminates the need to transport refinery products by ship and truck. This in turn reduces the traffic load in and around Muscat.
