Flowserve Reaches Significant Milestone in Subsea Pumping Technology
Monday, March 22, 2010
Flowserve Corporation, in partnership with Shell, has
successfully completed factory testing of a twin-screw pump, designed specifically
for high-boost subsea multiphase pumping applications. The new design was tested to a differential pressure of
2500 psi (172 bar), which is a significant milestone in the development of
multiphase pumping. The performance was mapped with liquid viscosities varying
from 2 cp to 2000 cp. The pump is part of a larger deep-water subsea pumping
system initiative, focused on heavy oil applications, sponsored by Shell
Upstream Americas. More…
