We are presenting field experiences with Low Shear Pumps and Valves at the SPE Workshop. More and more fields are adopting Low Shear equipment. The background for the discussion is feedback form two fields, one employing Low Shear pumps and the other having Low Shear choke valves. #SPE #lowshear #lowshearpumps #pumps #lowshearvalves #valves #producedwater #separation #typhonix #typhonixpumps

Low shear centrifugal pumps are reliable and ensure stable, efficient production. Most common pump types have either issue with reliability (e.g., positive displacement pumps) or lead to high droplet breakup / shearing (e.g., single-stage centrifugal pumps). Typhonix low shear centrifugal pump solves this issue by combining the robustness and reliability of centrifugal pumps with the low droplet breakup / low shear required for produced water treatment. #lowshear #lowshearpumps #pumps #producedwater #separation #typhonix Dickow Pumpen GmbH & Co.

Simple demonstration, huge impact. The bottle on the left-hand side demonstrates the importance of LOW SHEAR in process equipment.   Due to lower shear forces, and therefore less droplet breakup, the left bottle contains larger oil droplets. These larger droplets separate significantly faster than those in the bottle on the right-hand side, which are small due to the higher shear forces found in standard pumps and valves.   Larger droplets mean more efficient and reliable oil production and produced water treatment.   #lowshear #lowshearpumps #pumps #producedwater #separation #typhonix #typhonixpump #typhoonvalvesystem #lowshearvalves Mokveld Valves

How can I make a low shear fixed speed pump setup? First of all, you need a proper Low Shear pump. Next, consider operating the pump intermittently. If this is not possible, a recycle line is often used in produced water applications to handle varying water production rates. It is highly recommended to install the recycle line downstream of the separation equipment, rather than directly downstream of the pump. This reduces the amount of oil that is recycled back upstream. Doing this also reduces the pressure drop across the recycle valve, which is a means to reduce droplet breakup. To further reduce droplet breakup, it is recommended to use a Low Shear valve type, such as the Typhoon® Valve System. #lowshear #lowshearpumps #pumps #producedwater #separation #typhonix #typhonixpump #typhoonvalvesystem Mokveld Valves

Does Low Shear pumping require variable speed / frequency drive? No, but it is highly recommended. For low shear pumping, VFD is the preferred way to handle turndowns. This is to avoid recycling oil and chemicals. Often produced water rates vary. Because of this, fixed speed pumps require minimum flow recirculation lines. These flow lines have valves that normally cause droplet breakup and thus reduce the overall beneficial effect of the low shear pump. When using a variable speed drive, recirculation and extra valves are avoided. #lowshear #lowshearpumps #pumps #producedwater #separation #typhonix #typhonixpump

At this year's Produced Water Society Conference, Niels van Teeffelen will be hosting a roundtable discussion on the topic: Field experience of improved separation with the use of low shear equipment More and more fields are adopting Low Shear equipment. The background of the discussion is feedback form the installed base, in addition to experiments performed in our and other labs. #typhoonvalvesystem #lowshear #producedwater #separation #valves #lowshearpumps #pumps #petroleumengineering #oilgas #oilandgas #oilandgasindustry #energyindustry #typhonix Mokveld Valves
