Three different pump types ensure reliable pumping on an FPSO off the English coast
Immense effort is required to access new deposits, as boreholes have to be prepared and created. It can take years of preparation before a new oil field comes online. For offshore wells, oil producers now frequently are opting for a Floating Production, Storage and Offloading Unit (FPSO). More...
NOTOS® multi screw pump is ATEX certified and can therefore be used in potentially explosive atmospheres
The Directive 2014/34/EU defines the marketing and provision of equipment and protective systems in potentially explosive atmospheres. More...
Constant delivery rate regardless of the product viscosity: NEMO® progressing cavity pumps in a remote oilfield
The transfer of crude oil always presents new challenges and so it was on an oilfield in the Tatarstan region of Russia. Crude oil, containing up to three percent sand, is conveyed there in a 24-hour operation and a pumping system that is set up outdoors, where temperature can sometimes drop to - 40 ºC. More...
Maritime applications - lubricating fluids: NOTOS® multi screw pumps proof their strength in pumping lubricating fluids
When pumps are used on ships and in ports, the technology must meet special requirements: this means the pumps should not only cope with a really wide variety of fluids, but should also be as space-saving, maintenance-free and easy to handle as possible. More...
Tank stripping becomes more efficient: Multi screw pumps strip out even highly viscous media
As containers and temporary storage, tanks to entire tank farms are the backbone of many industries, in particular in the oil and fuel sector. But these types of media are often highly viscous, making it difficult to empty or ‘strip’ all the medium out of the tanks. More...
Vertical progressive cavity pumps from NETZSCH are ideally suited for extracting oil from oil tanks
When a major energy pipeline company looked to streamline their pumping system for their oil storage tanks, they called on NETZSCH to design and build customized vertical cavity sump pumps for lower maintenance and operational efficiencies. More...
