Engineered pumping technology for complex FPSO applications
Meeting the challenges of offshore fluid management
Space optimization, fluid compatibility and process stability are key considerations when selecting pumping equipment for FPSO facilities.
For an innovative offshore project, PCM developed a specific Moineau™ pumping configuration to support fluid management within the vessel while meeting demanding installation and operating requirements.
A vertical pumping approach for FPSO facilities
Progressing cavity technology offers valuable characteristics for offshore processes where equipment footprint and fluid handling must be carefully controlled.
For this application, PCM engineering expertise enabled the development of an exceptionally long vertical pump configuration installed through the FPSO hull.
The solution brings together:
- A vertical configuration adapted to limited offshore space
- Gentle pumping for previously separated fluids
- Compatibility with challenging produced fluids
- Performance across changing operating conditions
- Materials selected for demanding offshore environments
The project illustrates PCM's ability to adapt progressing cavity pump technology to unconventional Oil & Gas installations and complex engineering requirements.
