As an OEM and service provider of critical equipment, NGLTech is able to support our customers with equipment upgrades and re-rates. Our technical capability increases operational efficiency and extends the life of products while reducing corrosion and erosion. NGLTech’s capabilities provide cost reduction throughout the life of equipment.
Case Study 1: Split Casing Multi-stage Pump High Erosion
The Challange
Sand/erosion issues: pumping produced water 77ºC with formation sand particles
Service life typically 6-8 months
Impellers–Zeron 100 heavy erosion
The Solution
Material enhancement to prevent wear, corrosion and failure
Shaft drive-polygon bore
Impellers-solid stellite
Casing wear ring carriers:
- Adjacent carriers combined
- Anti swirl vanes incorporated
- Locations to casing reduced
- Sealed to casing
The Result
After 10 months operation wear was negligible
No sudden failures have been registered
Case Study 2 : Sea Water Lift High Flow Re-rate
The Challange
Improve existing reliability and performance by design
Resizing of impeller diameters to satisfy target duty
The Solution
Fundamental design verification of load ratings of components based on Finite Elements Analysis (FEA)
The Result
Flow and head increase by 40% and 20% respectively
Impeller dimension increase 35mm
