Pumping Stations - Pipelines

Pumping Stations - Pipelines

Pumping Stations - Pipelines

(OP)

In order to provide information to our clients, I need to know which are the basic attributes on pumping stations used on pipelines. I have a list with these attributes:

Delivery (scm/hour)
Pump thrust (m)
Rotation frequency (rpm)
Additional cavitations reserve (m)
Efficiency (%)
Weight (tons)

There is someone who could indicate me if there are other relevant information to add?
(As you have probably understood, I’m not an engineer... I'm a geologist…)

Thank you

RE: Pumping Stations - Pipelines

Are you sure you are "pacticing within your area of expertice"?  I am used to seeing liquids pumps sized in gpm or lpm. scm/h is used for gas compressors.

A head/volume/rpm/efficiency nomograph is a typical document to show the characteristic of a pipeline pump.  The weight is not unimportant, but is ony considered a "basic attribute" on offshore applications.

RE: Pumping Stations - Pipelines

spipe,

Are you trying to pump CO2 in a supercritical state for injection to enhance oil production?  If you are then you need to be very cautious when dealing with CO2 in the supercritical state.  If this is what you are trying to do contact me for help as I designed the first major CO2 pipeline (1970-1972) for moving CO2 using compression.  In todays environment I use pumps designed for moving liquids with gas seals developed for CO2.
