“Robust design increases the working life and reduces the need for maintenance – an important consideration in terms of operational reliability at the isolated location.”
Robert Kurz,
Head of the Business Field Oil & Gas Downstream, NETZSCH Pumpen & Systeme GmbH.
temperatures frequently reach 40°C, whereas the thermometer drops to -40°C in winter. Although the heat of the pumped medium is around 10 to 30°C, the ambient air temperature is typically -20°C on site. In addition to the type and material of the gasket, the materials for the rotor, stator and other components of the pump from the motor to the gear box therefore also had to be selected
and adapted specifically. Te system was also fitted with trace heating. Te pump can then still be used without problems at a temperature low of -40°C. Te NETZSCH multiphase pump has already been in service in the desert for about two years. Te system has been conveying up to 160m³/h of oil- water-sand-gas mixture with a viscosity of between 100 and 1,000cP without interruption at up to 36 bar pressure. Te manufacturer also supplies systems for flow rates up to 600m³/h and pressure of up to 60 bar where higher volumes are required. Te gearbox and the motor have been fitted with an adjusting device to align the elastic coupling optimally. Te advantage is that the operator can readjust the drive unit independently as necessary, thereby preventing damage to coupling bearings or to the gasket. ●
