Any ideas?
(OP)
We have a 250m3/h pump for onloading petrol from the tanker ship to the deposit. While we try to empty the deposits once the fuel is at the lowest level, air enters inside of the pumps and the pump gets stuck. Please give any ideas why that happen and what type of pump do You suggest to use to avoid this problem?
Any answer is appreciated.
Best regards

It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. (Sherlock Holmes - A Scandal in Bohemia.)
RE: Any ideas?
We need details such as a profile drawing showing liquid level, nozzle level, pump level and temperature, pipe size,flow rate etc to give any more assistance, but artisi has the basics nailed.
Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.

The unloading criteria should have been a design requirement for the tank system

Thank you for your answers.
We cant switch into using 2 pumps. Unfortunately that is not an option.
Please advise if a rotary lobe pump could work without any problems regarding the air suction part?

In ship i dont know if its possible to empty the tank completely , As far as i know there would be some unpumpable amount left. below the suction . One thing you can do is adjust the trim of the ship. to get the max out of the tank.
