injection packages
Azerbaijan is the latest destination for a batch of Bran + Luebbe Produced Water Chemical Injection (PWCI) packages from SPX
The SPX Process Equipment company has announced the completion of a multi-unit package designed to provide chemical dosing for a Produced Water treatment facility and the contaminated Open Drains Treatment plant, at an onshore based production location in Azerbaijan Due to the physical size of the PWCI package, Bran + Luebbe engineers in the UK have divided its construction into three separate units, these being the main chemical package, a Biocide package and a chemical unloading package

Some day all pumps will need replacing, even those that have been regularly serviced and maintained: an SPX scheme allows users to trade in their old pumps for a discount against the latest technology
In addition, a ferric Chloride package has also been supplied as part of the contract.
By far the largest unit, weighing in at 42 tonnes dry weight, is the main chemical injection package which contains 11 stainless steel multi-compartment tanks and 32 Bran + Luebbe Novados P API double diaphragm pumpheads.
These pumpheads will handle corrosion, scale, reverse demulsifier, oxygen scavenger, filer aid, flotation aid, coagulant, dewatering and flocculent.

Diaphragm pumps for hygienic duties
A new addition to the SPX ProCam range of diaphragm pumps meets the requirements of the pharmaceutical, food, beverage and cosmetics industries for pumps suitable for hygienic applications
Novados pumps are also a feature of the Biocide package, but in order to suit this duty H4 and H5 types have been supplied.
With Novados pumps, users have a choice of plunger or hydraulically actuated diaphragm pump-heads.
Accurate capacity adjustment can be performed by manual, pneumatic or electric stroke length control with the added option of variable speed drive via a frequency inverter that can be integrated into the motor if required.
The Chemical Unloading unit will be used for unloading chemicals from road tankers to the multi-compartment tanks of the main chemical injection package and contains 12 air operated double diaphragm pumps (AODD) with stainless steel pumpheads and pipework.
The Ferric Chloride unit features a mix of Novados P API pumps with titanium pumpheads and pipework and an OADD pump to unload chemical from road tankers into the cylindrical GRP holding tank.
According to Oil and Gas Manager Harish Mistry, the Novados pumps are a critical element for these types of chemical injection packages as they are suitable for use in desert conditions and in environments where extremely low temperature levels are encountered.
"In harsh environments it is essential that pumps are capable of withstanding both difficult conditions and aggressive fluids," comments Harish Mistry.
The Novados single-piece gearbox is easy to maintain and offers improved life cycle costs through the reduced number of components.
The robust internal gear housing uses state-of-the-art sealing technology, thereby removing any chance of corrosion, whilst fail-safe immersion lubrication reduces thermal load.
