INTRODUCTION
Bharat Pumps and compressors Ltd. (BPCL) (A Public Sector Undertaking under the control of Ministry of
Heavy Industries & Public Enterprises, Govt. of India), was set up in the year 1970 at naini, Allahabad as an
import substitution unit for manufacture of sophisticated process pumps and compressors for core sector
industries, which were hitherto being imported by them. The company is engaged in manufacture and supply of
heavy duty pumps & compressors and high pressure seamless and CNG gas cylinders / cascades to cater the
needs of oil exploration & exploitation, refineries, petro-chemicals, chemicals, fertilizer and down stream
industries.

PUMPS INTRODUCTION
A Pump is a device that expands energy to raise ,transport ,or compress fluids-liquids and gases. The term pump is generally used
For liquid handling or hand operated device ,while the term compressor is used when the pressure of gas is increased in motor
driven machine.
Pump is a machine intended to raise the pressure of an incompressible fluid using mechanical energy from an external source
that is a driver.

CLASSIFICATION OF PUMPS

Under the system, all pumps may be derived into two major categories.
1. Dynamic In which the energy is continuously added to increase the fluid velocities within the machine to values
in excess of those occurring at the discharge such that subsequent velocity reduction within or beyond
the pump produces pressure increase.
2.Displacement In which energy is periodically added by application of force to one or more movable boundaries of any
desired no. of enclosed, fluid containing volumes, resulting in direct increase in pressure upto the value
required to move the fluid through valve or ports into the discharge line .
CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS
The pump which work on the centrifugal action of working fluid is known as centrifugal pump. It consist fundamentally of
Rotating element, called an impeller, and a casing. Liquid is led through the eye or center of the impeller and is set into
rotation by the impeller vanes. By virtue of centrifugal force the liquid is thrown from the rim or periphery of the impeller
With a considerable velocity and pressure. The casing, which closely surrounds the impeller, has a volute shaped passage
of increasing area, which collects the liquid leaving the impeller, and converts a portion of its velocity energy into additional
Pressure energy.
CLASSIFICATION OF CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS

RADIAL FLOW : A centrifugal pump in which the pressure is developed wholly by the centrifugal force.


MIXED FLOW : A centrifugal pump in which the pressure is developed partially by centrifugal force and partially
by the lift of the vanes of the impeller on the liquid.

AXIAL FLOW : A centrifugal pump in which the pressure is developed by the propelling or lifting action of the
vanes of the impeller on the liquid.

BPC is manufacturing following different types of pumps:
Horizontal Radial split, Overhang design, Single & two stage
Horizontal Radial split, both end supported, Single & two stage
Horizontal Axial split, Single & two stage
Horizontal Axial split, Multi stage
Horizontal Slurry pump
Vertical wet-pit pump
Vertical barrel type pump

RECIPROCATING PUMPS
BPC designs and manufactures custom built Reciprocating pumps conforming to API 674 latest editions available for
wide range of applications.
These are positive displacement pumps. These are classified as :

PLUNGER PUMPS : These are for making positive displacement of working fluid . These are used where low
discharge and high pressure head is required. Plungers have less cross section area and more
length.
e.g. A-346

PISTON PUMPS : These use pistons for making positive displacement of the working fluid. These are used where
high discharge and low pressure head.
e.g. A-850PT



COMPRESSORS
The company is engaged in manufacture and supply of heavy duty pumps & compressors and high pressure seamless
and CNG gas cylinders / cascades to cater the needs of oil exploration & exploitation, refineries, petro-chemicals, chemicals,
fertilizer and down stream industries.

CLASSIFICATION OF COMPRESSORS

Compressors are also classified as:

Reciprocating compressors

Centrifugal compressors
PUMPS AND COMPRESSORS PLANT [PCP]

Pumps & compressors plant is the manufacturing section for the pump, compressors spare parts. PCP is divided as:

Pumps & compressors Manufacturing(PCM): This section mainly handles the assembly, testing, packing
and dispatching of centrifugal pumps, reciprocating pumps and reciprocating compressors.

Feeder : This section consists of six bays. In this section all machining, fabrication and heat treatment operations are
carried out.

CONCLUSION
BPCL has played a very crucial role in the development of India since its establishment in the year 1970. The products
Manufactured by BPCL are working as Heart in many Oil and Nuclear concerns.
BPCL has the shortcomings of a Public sector for sure. This is why, in spite of having such a wide market & variety of
customers in demand ranging from different parts INDIA, it incurred losses in recent years.
But now, due to the various adequate & recovery measures taken by the management authorities, the losses have been
considerably reduced in recent years.
Presently, the company is looking forward to perform well on the near future and to compete hard with such other firms
