Effect of Installed LCV Upstream of a Pump Suction
Effect of Installed LCV Upstream of a Pump Suction
(OP)
Dear All,
Preview: An existing flotation cell is discharging its treated water overboard a platform. The water discharge outlet is controlled by a LCV which is operated by the LT on the unit. Now, it expected that the produced water is to be transported from the platform to another produced water gathering platform for injection into the wells. I have an urge that connecting the pump suction downstream of the LCV will affect the pump operation.
Question: Please I want to know the effect the installed LCV would have on the pump operation if it is maintained at its current position?

We have resolved to change the upstream LCV to an On/Off valve, thereby eradicating control valve operation from the pump suction.
