據報道,海上平台的(de)低效運行泵(從下(xià)水(shuǐ)道或者類似的(de)污水(shuǐ)管中泵送污水(shuǐ),對(duì)海上平台來(lái)說是一個(gè)巨大(dà)的(de)挑戰),使石油公司正面臨巨大(dà)的(de)成本問題。沃基肖旋轉活塞泵适于條件惡劣的(de)北(běi)海工況,設備周期成本低,并且可(kě)提供服務周期的(de)預測。
A poorly performing pump on an offshore platform, presented a costly challenge to the oil company. Bryan Orchard looks at the solution AxFlow provided; a Waukesha rotary lobe piston pump which could stand up to the harsh North Sea conditions, has low life cycle costs and can realise predictable service intervals
因爲沙灘中含有大(dà)量的(de)泥漿碎石,使得(de)在當地70度的(de)高(gāo)溫下(xià),泵送物(wù)質成分(fēn)非常複雜(zá),由于海水(shuǐ)粘度高(gāo),腐蝕性強,特殊的(de)化(huà)學工況不得(de)不縮短泵的(de)維修周期。
Pumping produced water from closed drain and similar applications is a challenge frequently encountered on offshore platforms. This is because the presence of a high sand content makes the slurry abrasive. However, the problem is compounded by temperatures of approximately 70°
石油公司基于這(zhè)些因素,急需一台易維修、生命周期成本低的(de)泵浦。自2003 年起英國AxFlow流體公司,專爲這(zhè)類石油公司,提供多(duō)功能沃基肖旋轉活塞泵,從液态氣體到粗糙的(de)碎石等多(duō)種工況設備的(de)需要。低必需氣蝕餘量(NPSHr)能夠應對(duì)氣蝕工況的(de)挑戰,幹燥運轉能力,低生命周期成本,,堅固的(de)菱形外形設計,能夠隔離潮濕環境,并抵制液體腐蝕,易于維修(每次隻需一兩個(gè)小時(shí)的(de)人(rén)工維修)這(zhè)就是沃基肖泵大(dà)受歡迎的(de)原因。
