Agitators for the Petrochemical & Oil/Gas Industry
Heavy Duty Mixing for API Storage Tanks & Refineries
In the Oil & Gas sector, sediment accumulation (BS&W) involves massive cleaning costs and reduces storage capacity.
G&G Petrochemical Agitators are designed to meet API Standards, ensuring homogeneity in crude oil tanks and maintaining temperature uniformity in bitumen and fuel oil storage, all while operating in the most hazardous zones.
🏆 The Standard Solution: Side-Entry Agitators
Large storage tanks (up to 100,000 m³) cannot be mixed from the top. We supply robust belt-driven side-entry units designed for long-term reliability.
The agitator can pivot horizontally (+/- 30°) to sweep the entire tank floor, preventing sludge accumulation in dead zones.
Allows the mechanical seal to be replaced without emptying the tank. Crucial for maintenance in strategic reserves.
Critical Applications
🛢️ Crude Oil & Fuel Storage
Goal: Homogenization and BS&W (Bottom Sediment & Water) control.
We use high-efficiency marine propellers to generate a long jet flow that keeps water and sediments in suspension before pumping.
🔥 Bitumen & Asphalt
Goal: Temperature Uniformity.
Top-entry agitators for high viscosity at high temperatures (150°C - 200°C). Keeps the product fluid and prevents crust formation on the surface.
🧪 Lubricants Blending
Goal: Precise mixing of base oils and additives.
Vertical agitators with multiple impellers for blending tanks, ensuring the correct viscosity index in the final product.
⚠️ Safety First: ATEX & API
- ATEX Certified: Equipment suitable for Zone 0 (inside tank) and Zone 1 (outside).
- API Mechanical Seals: We integrate cartridge seals following API 682 plans (Plan 53A, Plan 65, etc.) for leak-free operation.
