Determine pump spec necessary to overcome leak

[QUOTE="cameronrose97, post: 6828217, member: 731352"] [B]TL;DR Summary:[/B] A vacuum pump is mounted on the ground, it is connected to 12 hose reels that extract oil from drain tanks, the pump must provide adequate suction at any one hose even if 11 are open to atmosphere. A vacuum pump is mounted at ground level. The pump is connected to a tree of overhead pipework at a height of 20ft, connected to the pipework are 12 hose reels that can be attached to oil drain tanks. The client requests that the pump be sized so that sufficient vacuum can be achieved to suck the 20ft head at any one line even if all other lines are open to atmosphere. How does one go about determining pump size when accounting for a leak like this? I suspect that what’s being requested wouldn’t be very efficient and might even be prohibitively expensive but I must do my due diligence and investigate. [/QUOTE]
