New Diesel Waterjet Pump

Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions (WMFTS) has launched the Qdos H-FLO chemical metering and dosing pump, designed specifically for higher flow rates up to 158 gallons per hour (600 L/h).

To ensure the profitability of offshore oil and gas extraction, operators require equipment to perform reliably throughout long periods between maintenance intervals. When an international oil company (IOC) was experiencing short mean time between failures (MTBF) for its liquified petroleum flare knockout vessel pumps on an offshore platform in Malaysia, the business approached Sulzer for a pump retrofit to safeguard uptime.

In many applications in the chemical industry, the food industry and the oil and gas industry as well, pumps that work reliably and provide high performance are needed.

Norwegian government agency Statsbygg has awarded Framo the development contract to supply pump systems for the Norwegian Ocean Technology Center, currently under construction in Trondheim. The delivery includes 96 pumps that will pump huge amounts of water to create ocean currents in the research facility’s basin.

Global demand for essential products like water, gas and oil is growing, which means that pipelines and processing plants such as pressure vessels are getting bigger. To ensure continuity of supply and minimise downtime, maintenance teams need to gain safe and rapid access to critical plants that require servicing or repair.

Anyone who operates a dewatering pump from Tsurumi can, in many cases, upgrade it to a higher performance level – by simply exchanging some parts.
