2. Luildings, layout, installations:
as The pumping house is an old one-story brick building of
1.4 x 8 x 6 meters. Two piston pumps of the Worthington type
with a pressure of 30 atmospheres, operating 206 in tons per
24 hours, are installed there. The two pumps are driven by
an electric motor. They are auxiliary pumps for the Laiooi-
uernavoda-Constanta trunk pipe line.
b. The workshop building, 14 x 6 x 6 meters, is an? old one-
story brickwork house about 15 meters west of the pump house.
Pipe line repair work is done here and valves are reconditioned.
c. The boilerhouse, 14 x 8 x 4.5 meters (height of walls exolu-
ding roof), which was still under construction in the Fall of
1948, is about 200 meters east of the pump house. The brickwork
was completed, but roof and equipment were lacking.
Steam boilers for calefaction of the pipe line will be installed
there. Calefaction is necessary as, in winter, Fauri is a cri-
tical section of the Ploesti-Cernavoda-Constanta pipe line. Pre-
viously,in mid-winter, the Luzau pumping; station had to operate
with an additional pressure of 20 atmospheres to press the oil
which became viscous in the cold, through the pipe. This heating
installation was constructed on order of the Soviets.
d. A refinery is under construction 15 meters east of the
boilerhouse. The brickwork of the brick building was completed
but the roof ng in the Fall of 1948.
some refining. installations are in
stock In oest .
e. The tanks of the station are arranged in two groups.. ~:,ne
consists of four, 1,000--eu.m. tanks which are 20 meters apart

between the pump house and the boilerhouse about e0 meters
from the railroad line, --~n.other three-tank group is about
25 meters behind. These 2,000-ou.m. tanks are 25 meters
apart. All tanks rest on concrete bases extending about
1 meter above ground.
f. The loading platform, about 150 meters long, parallels
the railroad line at a 5-meter distance. e'en railroad t~nk
cars can be loaded at the same time (see ,Lnnex).
Another minor pipe, about 2.5 em in diameter, throu.~_?h which
stear is to circulate, was projected as pipe line hoatinc
system. The latter pipe is to be installed within the former
one.
C orsment
The pump station described by this report belongs to the
baicoi Luzau-Cernavoda-Constanta pipe line*. it is about
130 km from Laicoi, the statiin point of the pipe line,
and 170 km from Constanta, the terminal of the pipe line.
another pipe line branching off in b'auA runs via Galati
to the :soviet Danube port of I eni . This pipe line was
constructed by :iumania after the war by order of the oviets
to deliver oil to the 6oviet union.
