Twin Screw Multiphase Pumps for CO2 injection
- Design 1 -
Description:
This presentation highlights the utilization of double flow screw spindle pumps in multiphase applications specifically pumping CO2 mixtures. Starting with an introduction of the working principle of screw spindle pumps, followed by a comparison with centrifugal pumps the challenges of pumping multiphase fluids will be introduced.
A case study for a multiphase pumping application follows. The challenges the operating conditions are:
-
High GVF,
-
Low viscous fluid,
-
High differential pressure.
The performance of the designed pump was analyzed by CFD. Challenges of such an CFD analysis are presented. The multiphase pump performance test was carried out onsite in the ITT Bornemann facility under field operating conditions (high suction pressure level, GVF).
Conclusion:
Double flow screw spindle pumps are well suited for multiphase pumping and wet gas compression.
