Pumping Oil Sand Froth
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)
Froth is the basis to the extraction of bitumen from oil sand. Its components include sand, bitumen, water, and air. The technology of extraction and processing is evolving toward lower temperature of operation where the ...
Reliability Improvement At Petrotrin Refinery - Pumps At No. 8 CDU. 1997 To 2003
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)
Demonstration Of Cavitation Life Extension For Suction-Stage Impellers In High Energy Pumps
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)
Cavitation occurring in high-energy pump impellers often results in material erosion and system instabilities. Excessive erosion rates compromise life and increase ownership costs through higher maintenance and reduced ...

Determining The Cause Of Bearing Failures In Circulating Water Pump Motors
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)
Eight vertical circulating water pumps are used to circulate condenser water at the generation station in a nuclear power plant. The pump installation is pictured in Figure 1. The motor pump system is arranged vertically ...
Overview Of API 682, Second Edition
(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 ...
Selecting Steam Turbines For Pump Drives
(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 ...
Understanding The Performance Of A Progressive Cavity Pump With Metallic Stator
(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 ...
