Bennett, Shawn L.; Bryant, Jim (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)For the first time, there is an API standard relating to the use of sealless pump technologies [canned motor pump (CMP) and magnetic drive pump (MDP)]. While sealles technology has been well accepted in chemical process ...

Torbergsen, Erik; Gjerstad, Sigve; Hosoy, Andreas; Aasland, Brian (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)High energy pumps often operate at high speeds to achieve compact designs with few stages. These pumps need special attention on cavitation performance because the cavitation erosion rate is related to impeller speed. This ...
-
Creathorn, Andrew J. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)Industrial agitator or mixer configurations and associated applications present the design engineer with a unique set of challenges. This was especially true when a major chemical company required an agitator for a large ...
-
Morton, John L.; Evans, John G. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)Ever demanding business and operating conditions have highlighted the need for significant improvements in the reliability of high duty mechanical seals. With platform operators under pressure to minimize deferred oil ...

Azibert, Henri V.; Wu, Shifeng (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)Split mechanical sealing technology has lagged nonsplit seal applications because of the many difficulties introduced by the requirement of assembling separate parts to a high degree of precision in the field. It has at ...

Thornton, Edward J.; Armintor, J. Kirk (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)The conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy has been and continues to be a dominant form of power transmission for industrial purposes. The alternating current (AC) electric induction motor has been an ...
-
Huebner, Mike (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)APIs recent release of Standard 682, Second Edition, represents a major revision to this standard. The latest revision has greatly expanded the scope of the standard by including applications to more pumps, adding new seal ...

Reliability Improvement Of End Suction Pump In Severe Service Through Engineered Component Upgrade Morales Casanova, César A. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)An end suction pump for amine service at an Ammonia plant was successfully upgraded by improvement of its components. Two 290 kW (390 HP) pumps, turbine/motor driven, rated for 262 m^3/hr (1,153 gpm) and 271 m (889 ft), ...

Pottie, Karl; Bayon, Angel; Rebollo, Carlos; Lope, Manuel Ruiz de; Mota, Miguel (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)At one nuclear power plant, the original essential service water pumps were replaced by another set of pumps with higher capacity. The latter were transferred from another “idle” nuclear power plant. Due to some important ...
-
Cerce, Mike; Patel, Vinod (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)Selecting the right steam turbine for the application can save the purchaser money on initial cost (avoiding oversizing) as well as operating costs (better efficiency). The intent of this paper is to provide steam turbine ...

Meuter, Paul; Lienau, Wolfram; Felix, Thomas; Schachenmann, Andreas; Germaine, Brian; McDonald, Charles L. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)For the “Thunder Horse” oil field, injection pressures above 550 bar (8000 psi) are required. The highest injection pressures realized up to now with centrifugal pumps were around 350 bar (5100 psi). To minimize to ...

Gamboa, Jose; Olivet, Aurelio; Iglesias, Juan Carlos; Gonzalez, Pedro (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)Analytical and experimental studies were carried out on a progressive cavity pump (PCP) fitted with a metallic stator with a fixed, positive clearance around the single helical rotor. This eliminates wear and greatly ...
