Vertical Can Pump Installation
Vertical Can Pump Installation
(OP)
Dear all,
I am newly graduated Mechanical Engineer. I would like to ask for your experience.
We are going to install Vertical Can Pump on offshore gas processing plattform. The pump weighed 2100 lb and it is 17 ft long. We have to drill 12 inch hole to install it on Cellar Deck. The pump will be put through the hole and will be mounted on deck plate(5/8") with four 1" bolts.
I am worried about vibration & Civil problem. So I have some questions.
Do you think this pump need and extra support (pump seat, can support)?
What is the most important thing that I have to concern on this type of pump installation?

I only once have met complaints of a condominium community pumps noise. Was only 4 flats per building and the complaining party lived just exactly over the room holding equipment that served more than 4, there's a psychological component to this. We did some corrections and public complaints ended.

Then you should check if the support has sufficient resistance for pump mass: as you seem wanting to install it on a deck plate, this is not necessarily true. Normally one would expect that at least two beams are provided sideways of pump and that the mounting bolts are secured into the flanges of such beams.
Of course also vibration is an issue: this is primarily influenced by support stiffness, but depends also on pump geometry and position of nozzles. Once again the pump manufacturer should be able to give an advice on this.
