WEST SUSSEX, UK | APRIL 2012<br />
<strong>Pyroban</strong> delivers ATEX diesel package<br />
to power refinery water pump<br />
<strong>Pyroban</strong> has supplied an explosion proof diesel engine package to PumpSets <strong>Ltd</strong> for<br />
use in a refinery application in Azerbaijan to power a pump for ‘processed water’.<br />
The international oil company in Azerbaijan has ordered an explosion proof processed water<br />
pump unit from UK pump manufacturer PumpSets <strong>Ltd</strong> for use in a Zone 2 hazardous area.<br />
The unit includes an APEX pump which can pump water containing traces of oil at a flow<br />
rate of 350m 3 / hr at 60m head.<br />
To power the pump, PumpSets ordered a radiator to flywheel explosion proof diesel engine<br />
package from <strong>Pyroban</strong> which was delivered fully built onto a skid frame, tested and certified<br />
to ATEX 94/9/EC and the Machinery Directive. The 167bhp (1800rpm) prime mover, a<br />
Perkins 1006.6TW diesel engine, required a complete explosion proof modification from<br />
<strong>Pyroban</strong> to ensure that it could not be the source of ignition from hot surfaces, engine overspeed<br />
or gas ingestion.<br />
The <strong>Pyroban</strong> explosion proof diesel engine package included an exhaust gas cooler, an<br />
SVG valve to prevent engine overspeed and flame from the inlet, flame and spark arrestors,<br />
a water-cooled turbocharger and other safety critical components. The <strong>Pyroban</strong> explosion<br />
proof package also included a marine radiator designed and manufactured by <strong>Pyroban</strong><br />
<strong>Group</strong> Company, Broadland Radiators.<br />
<strong>Pyroban</strong> manufactured the complete explosion proof package at its works in West Sussex in<br />
the UK and the unit is fully certified to Category 3G T3 IIB ATEX 94/9/EC as a component,<br />
