Centrifugal pumps are used for a wide range of applications and services in the refining industry. In today’s dynamic scenario, changes in pumped fluid characteristics are common, especially for transfer/loading pumps. For the changing process fluid parameter, pump performance should be predicted to analyze the suitability of the pumping system for the proposed service conditions. A pump originally in service for the bulk loading of fuel oil was assessed for its suitability in use with higher viscosity vacuum residue. Using the existing pump for a new product opened a new business opportunity without any major investment. The original pump was installed in the early 1980s and has been in ser
