High pressure magnetic drive pump supplied to wet gas testing facility has earned a good reputation from the user.
The pumping liquids have densities ranging from 1.03 g/ml (sea water and brine solutions) to 0.74 g/ml light hydrocarbons (kerosene, Exxsol D-80). The viscosities range from 0.5 CP to 150 CP. One of the biggest engineering challenges was moving the many and diverse liquids from pressurized holding tanks to the liquid injection site. The flow rates need to be controlled from 0.5 gpm to 42 gpm with operating temperatures varying from 50° F to 125° F. Many of the liquids are flammable and toxic.
The solution was to use three magnetic-drive, centrifugal pumps made by SANWA for the low-flow, high-suction pressure (1,000 psi) application.
“Get your vendors onsite and have face-to-face meetings early in the design process. CEESI worked hard designing the CL-WGTF (Wet Gas Testing Facility), but vendor input proved even more valuable early on in the design stage. CEESI had several onsite, face-to-face meetings with vendors that altered and improved the design of the CL-WGTF.”
