Reliable and efficient:
Börger Pump Technology
There are many cases where water is contaminated with oil. Each oil spill disaster requires quick corrective action, or it can pose a high risk of damage to the ecological system. On an oil recovery vessel
In order to skim the oil or other floating impurities from the water surface, powerful pumps are needed. Börger’s rotary lobe pumps are the perfect solution because they can convey high viscosities and work in slurp-mode. With the wide spectrum of 20 pump sizes (flow rates of 4.4 4,400 usgpm (1 – 1,000 m³/h)), a large selection of equipment and additional parts, Börger is able to manufacture rotary lobe pumps which are perfectly suited to every single application.
On a tracked vehicle for coastal protection
Liquid as well as viscous or abrasive pumped media can be conveyed effortlessly, and even chemically aggressive substances pose no problem. The Börger rotary lobe pump which is insensitive to solids is capable of running dry for a short time and can be used for filling and emptying by reversing the direction of rotation. Due to the low-maintenance design of the pump, the maintenance times and downtimes are minimized. All wear parts can be replaced at the installation site of the pump in a matter of minutes.

Skimmer pump on an oil recovery vessel | Since 1996, Börger rotary lobe pumps have been used as skimmer pumps on a German oil recovery vessel. One rotary lobe pump is installed on the port side and one on the starboard side of the deck for the two skimmer arms. The pumps were configured and built individually for the application requirements. The pump casing was manufactured from stainless steel due to the aggressive salt water. The tri-lobe rotors with screw profile are equipped with replaceable lobe tips made of FKM. The operator of the oil recovery vessel is very satisfied with the Börger rotary lobe pumps. The reliability of Börger pumps in particular has paid off in many applications in the last decades.
Mobile skimmer pump | A manufacturer of oil spill response equipment in Asia was in search for a pump for mobile units. The units are equipped with small diesel motors and are solely to be used as oily water skimmer pumps during oil spill emergencies in the region. The Börger rotary lobe pump was selected due to the low shear, low speed with no friction on the moving pump parts as well as the reduction of oil-water emulsification. The dry-run capability and the low weight of Börger aluminum pumps were highly favored by the customer. The compact size gives Börger pumps the advantage to be placed in a mobile unit easily.

Pump on skimmers | A shipyard looked for a skimmer pump for an oil recovery vessel which could meet the increased requirements. Based on the consistently positive experience with Börger products on other vessels, the Börger rotary lobe pump was taken into consideration. The capabilities of the Börger rotary lobe pump when pumping highly viscous oil and sea water mixtures were tested. The performed tests were positive. As a result, two Börger rotary lobe pumps were installed on the two skimmers of the oil recovery vessel. The operator of the vessel has been using the Börger rotary lobe pumps for more than 10 years and is still satisfied with them. They have experienced the perfect functionality and high quality of the pumps in many disaster relief operations.
