The paper is a case study of a pump package built as part of a washdown system to be used on an offshore platform. The new way of doing business with this major oil company includes an increase in the scope of engineering and the amount of documentation required to complete the job. This is a trend that has received more attention recently and was mandated for the 2nd washdown unit by the same end customer. Other oil companies are demanding similar specifications and equipment requirements. The paper will discuss information that a pump supplier / package builder needs to know to participate in bids to major oil companies. The lessons learned on the first pump unit that were applied to the second identical unit and how to avoid mistakes, will also be discussed. Photos, diagrams and drawings will be used to illustrate the subject of the paper.
