Blackmer continues to dedicate itself to creating the most energy-efficient, environmentally friendly and bottom-line beneficial technologies for use in manufacturing operations throughout the world.

Lenoblgaz OAO is the main supplier of LPG and natural gas to nearly 1,000 commercial customers and more than 540,000 residences in the country’s sprawling Northwestern District. The company’s customer base is supplied by a product-pipeline network that totals 4,436 km (2,757 miles) and includes six pump-station branches.

Blackmer announces that the designed in features of its NP Series sliding vane pumps can improve the overall efficiency and performance for biodiesel production plants. The design advantages of the NP Series have resulted in quieter operation, longer service life and reduced maintenance requirements, while providing significantly reduced energy consumption in several transfer applications within a biodiesel plant.

Blackmer has announced that due to high customer demand, it is reintroducing its Model SGLD4B 4-inch Sliding Vane Specialty Gas pump. The SGLD4B pumps have been designed for the liquid transfer and recirculation of refrigerants and other liquefied gases.

Blackmer has announced that as part of its commitment to the bulk liquid-storage-terminal market it will be exhibiting at the International Liquid Terminal Association’s upcoming 30th Annual International Operating Conference & Trade Show.

Blackmer announces that — in response to specific requests from major CO2 marketers for a more durable pump that is capable of handling the higher working pressures found in liquid CO2 service — it has designed its CRL Series sliding vane pumps to provide maximum performance and reliability under the most severe CO2 service conditions.

Blackmer has announced that it has created a new brochure specifically for the Liquid Terminals Market. The new brochure describes how the incorporation of Blackmer’s rotary sliding vane and centrifugal pumping technologies can help liquid-terminal operators improve the efficiencies and reliability of their transfer, blending/mixing and transportation applications.

Blackmer announces its TLGLF flange-mounted pumps are available for LPG bobtail and transport trucks. Blackmer takes product reliability to the highest level with its TLGLF pumps, flange mounting directly to commercial internal control valves, eliminating the need for inlet pipes, shutoff valves and external strainers that can restrict flow and cause vaporization problems, resulting in smoother operation and longer pump life.

Blackmer’s ProVane Motor Speed Vane Pumps are ideal for various applications in the liquid terminals industry. The ProVane pump’s innovative Hydrodynamic Journal Bearing design reduces shaft/bearing contact, minimizing friction and resulting in higher mechanical efficiency and smart energy cost savings for Liquid Terminal operators.

Blackmer has announced that its BV2 Bypass Valves are now available with high-grade FKM O-rings. O-rings made of FKM (vinylidene fluoride) are preferable in some applications because they provide additional heat and chemical resistance.
