CASE STUDY: A SUCCESSFUL OFFSHORE MULTIPHASE PUMP PROJECT

摘要

THE MAJORITY OF multiphase pumps (MPP) operating are based on Twin Screw Pump Technology. These self-priming pumps are of double volute design and hence, hydraulically balanced. The possibility of speed variation by means of Variable Frequency Drives offers a wide operating envelope. Twin screw MPPs are available for flow rates up to 5,000 m~3/h (755,300 bpd) and differential pressures up to 150 bar (2,175 psi). The pumps are designed to handle high Gas Volume Fractions (GVF) and to tolerate gas slugs with 100 per cent GVF.
