    Cost effective solution to extend your pump reliability

    What is the use of a BOA?

    • Installed on pumps that have oil sumps.
    • The BOA is installed into the pump housing drain plug underneath the pump housing/sump, to improve the running time of the bearings by monitoring the quality of the bearing oil and proportion of oil to water.
    • The BOA allows oil samples to be taken from the bearing housing/sump by opening the ball valve drain, giving insight to the quality of the oil.
    • Early detection of any oil contamination results in continued pump reliability.
    • Magnet is installed in the sight glass to attract metal particles that could potentially be contaminating the oil.
    • The BOA is easily removed when the pump is isolated and simply disassembled for cleaning. New O rings are fitted, to then be re-assembled and installed back onto the pump.
    • Type 7 is a shorter design for pumps where space is limited from the underside of pump bearing housing to the pump mounting base.

    Type 7 S/S

     

     

    “Our success started with an order from Exxon/Mobil Fawley Refinery UK, where we supplied 1200 units. We designed the Sight Glass Type 5 & 7 S/S, which has now been accepted in many refineries around the world.”

     

     

     

    Oil Contamination

     

    Image on the left: Filled with oil and water. Water is heavier than oil, therefore is seen at the bottom of the BOA, showing clear water contamination.
    Image on the right: Demonstrates the use of the magnet attracting any metal particles that is contaminating the oil in the sump.
