Pumps
Pumps are used to transfer the pollutant and are one of the key elements in the recovery chain.
Testing is essential to identify the equipment's performance, strengths and limitations, according to the physico-chemical characteristics of the pollutant (viscosity, chemical compatibility, etc.), as well as the environmental conditions and configuration of use.
Standardised tests
Aims
Evaluate the intrinsic performance of pumps under standard conditions depending on :
- The type of fluid pumped
- The suction height
- The discharge pressure

Oil
Duration
Approximately 2 to 3 days
Standards
Test protocol based on standard:
- AFNOR NF T-71-401
Custom tests
Aims
Assess and compare pump performances with pollutants in configurations of use matching the client's needs, in a controlled environment and under reproducible conditions.
Possibility of conducting iterative tests to investigate several options so as to optimise the equipment's design and operating procedures with a view to improving its perfomance in given conditions (e.g annular injection).
Compatibility tests with oil and chemicals.
