Qualification And Optimization Of Solid Polymer Tilting Pad Bearings For Subsea Pump Applications
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
Tilting pad bearings are used extensively in high power and/or high speed pump applications. Traditional white metallined also known as babbitted tilting pad bearings are used for oil lubricated bearings. Babbitted tilting ...
Acid Gas Removal Optimization With Energy Recovery
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
Acid gas removal (AGR) using a high pressure amine solvent in a contactor tower is widely used to sweeten sour gas and render it suitable for commercial distribution. Acid gas removal is also common in other applications ...
Pulsation Amplitude Effects Of Altering Characteristics Of Gas-Liquid Dampeners
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
High Viscosity Test Of A Crude Oil Pump
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
In 2014 a full scale high viscosity pump performance test was performed for a 2-stage vertically suspended (VS1) API610 pump. The high viscosity test scope was part of an ongoing EPC project and exclusively conducted for ...
Simulator To Train Operators On Newly Installed Pumping Equipment
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
New screw pumps were installed at an existing offshore oil platform that originally housed only centrifugal pumps, thus creating the need to safely train operators on the new equipment. Therefore, a training simulator was ...
The Measured Impact Of Erosion On The Rotodynamic And Performance Characteristics Of A Mixed Flow ESP
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
Three stages of a mixed flow electric submersible pump were subjected to 117 hours of erosion using a 2 gram/liter concentration ratio of 100 mesh hydraulic fracture sand to water. The sand passed through the pump one time ...
Increase Cooling Water System Capacity Without Introducing Problems And Maintenance
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
Increasing the capacity of a cooling water system requires more than just upgrading the cooling water pumps. The intake system needs to be evaluated as well to ensure it is capable of handling the upgraded pumps without ...
