CASE STUDY #1

Application : Forging Press Drive System - Sinusoidal

Location : India

Specification :

* 12 WEPUKO RX360 pump "sinusoidal" hydraulic drive system for 2 presses

* Fluid: Hydraulic Oil

CASE STUDY #2

Application : High Pressure Fiber Optic Injection

Location : Offshore ­ Gulf of Mexico

Specification :

* Pump Speed: 29-615 rpm (variable)

* Flow rate: 0.25-7.5 l/min (0.07-2.0 gpm)

* Flow pressure: up to 1050 bar (15,200 psi)

* Fluid: Water

Description :

* Optical fibers have gained acceptance as both temporary and permanently installed down-hole sensors to measure temperature over fiber lengths up to 30 km (18 miles). The measurement technique provides a continuous temperature profile along the entire length of the optical fiber at meter intervals. The fiber is ‘injected’ into the wellhead by use of fluid drag generated by the high pressure water from the Wepuko pump.

The fiber makes use of a physical property of light transmission in optical fibers, namely that of back scattering of a small proportion of the incident light resulting from thermal activation of the fiber molecules.

CASE STUDY #3

Application : Fluid Injection

Location : On and Offshore

Specification :

* Flow rate: up to 600 l/min (160 gpm)

* Flow pressure: up to 850 bar (12,300 psi)

* Fluid: Methanol, Ethanol, Glycol

Description :

* Above mentioned fluids are injected into oil or gas pipelines in order to avoid hydration of water saturated hydrocarbons, or to dissolve hydrate blockages in pipelines.

* The fluids are injected into the well or pipelines before start up and shut down. This is to avoid freezing of the dissolved water at the pipeline walls when operation starts.

* The design of the pump units allows also further applications, for example hydrostatic pressure testing or the opening and closing of large valves

CASE STUDY #4

Application : High Pressure Flare Knock-Out Drum Pump

Location : Off-shore

Specification :

* Flow rate: up to 900 l/min (240 gpm)

* Flow pressure: up to 250 bar (3,600 psi)

* Fluid: Mixture of different fluids (HC-Condensate, Seawater, Diesel, etc.)

Description :

* All leakage fluids on an oil platform are collected into what is called a Flare System

* Separators split the leakage into heavy components (e.g.: Hydrocarbons, Seawater, Oil, Toxicants, Methanol, etc, and into lighter components (gases). The gas is either flared or furnished back into the process. The heavy components are returned for further processing or returned to the deposit under high pressure.
