Iyunithi yempompo ye-diesel isentsha ngokwemigangatho yesizwe ye-GB6245-2006 "iimfuno zokusebenza kwempompo yomlilo kunye neendlela zokuvavanya". Olu chungechunge lweemveliso lunoluhlu olubanzi lwentloko kunye nokuhamba, olunokuthi luhlangabezane ngokupheleleyo nokunikezelwa kwamanzi omlilo kwizihlandlo ezahlukahlukeneyo kwiindawo zokugcina iimpahla, ii-docks, izikhululo zeenqwelo-moya, i-petrochemical, izityalo zamandla, izikhululo zegesi ezinamanzi, i-textile kunye namanye amashishini kunye nemigodi. Inzuzo kukuba ipompo yomlilo yombane ayikwazi ukuqala emva kokungaphumeleli kwamandla ngokukhawuleza kwenkqubo yamandla yesakhiwo, kwaye ipompo yomlilo we-diesel iqala ngokuzenzekelayo kwaye ifake kunikezelo lwamanzi olungxamisekileyo.
Impompo ye-diesel yenziwe nge-injini ye-diesel kunye nempompo yomlilo yamanqanaba amaninzi. Iqela lempompo yimpompo enqamlezileyo, yokufunxa enye, enenqanaba elinye lempompo ye-centrifugal. Ineempawu zokusebenza okuphezulu, uluhlu olubanzi lokusebenza, ukusebenza okukhuselekileyo kunye nokuzinza, ingxolo ephantsi, ubomi obude, ukufakela kunye nokugcinwa ngokufanelekileyo. Kuthutho lwamanzi acocekileyo okanye olunye ulwelo olufana neepropati zomzimba kunye neekhemikhali ukuya emanzini. Kwakhona kunokwenzeka ukuba utshintshe izinto eziphathekayo zeendawo zokuhamba kwempompo, ifom yokutywina kunye nokwandisa inkqubo yokupholisa ukuthutha amanzi atshisayo, ioli, i-corrosive media or abrasive media.
