FPSO
The floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) sector is likely to see between $80-$120 billion-worth of investment through 2019, and that is with the oil industry experiencing its worst downturn in a generation.
What is an FPSO?
Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) is defined as a floating vessel used by the offshore industry for the processing and storage of oil and gas. A FPSO vessel is designed to receive oil or gas produced from nearby platforms or subsea template, process it, and store it until oil or gas can be offloaded onto a tanker or transported through a pipeline. FPSOs are preferred in frontier offshore regions as they are easy to install, and do not require a local pipeline infrastructure to export oil and gas.
Pumps for the Booming FPSO Sector
Western Energy offers a variety of customised pumps for FPSO applications, that can cope with the severe conditions on the high seas. Our pumps conform to demanding standards (such as the NORSOK standards of the Norwegian petroleum industry, NFPA standards of the US National Fire Protection Association, etc) to ensure safe and reliable operation.
Some of the applications we have supplied before are water injection pumps, seawater lift pumps, fire water pumps, cargo pumps and transfer process pumps.

CARGO AND LIQUID HANDLING PUMP
Benefits: Ideally suitable for viscous liquids. Self-priming, this type of pump with single, two or three pairs of screws is suitable for transferring fluids with low, medium, high and very high viscosity, up to 35000 cST and flowrate up to 3000 m3/hr. High Suction Lift Capabilities (7 to 8,5 m). Well suited for liquids sensitive to shear forces and turbulences thanks to the low internal velocities given by the screw movements.
WATER INJECTION PUMP
Benefits: Designed to aid in liquid terminal operations, our pumps are designed to improve operational efficiencies for viscous fluid transfers, significantly reduce maintenance costs by providing highly reliable and easy to maintain pumps. And the pump designs are power efficient, ensuring our clients save on energy, save on costs.
OIL OFFLOADING PUMP
Benefits: Particularly robust, the pump finds its best application in all fields where versatility, reliability, and safety are required. Compare to the more traditional Positive Displacement Pumps, this type has an advantage of absolutely no impulses and better delivery repetition. Can be considered ideal batching pumps where the flow rate is directly proportional to the number of revolutions.
BOOSTER SERVICE PUMP
Benefits: A sealless pump is best applied when leakage cannot be tolerated; these pumps present absolutely no risk of emissions or leaks, which can harm productivity, employees and the environment. For applications involving high temperatures, high pressures and volatile substances, our range of sealless magnetic drive pumps are the clear choice.
COOLING WATER RECIRCULATION PUMP
Benefits: Vertical Turbine pumps are available in a wide variety of hydraulic and mechanical coverage and materials of construction to suit application requirements. Our range of custom-engineered constructed pumps are rigidly designed to ensure vibration free operation. Hydraulic designs are continually updated with our continuous R&D efforts to meet requirements of higher efficiency, lower submergence and reliability. Vertical Turbine pumps in API 610 standards are also available.
Pulsation Dampers
Benefits: Pulsation damper ensures a smooth and continuous fluid flow as well as pump metering accuracy. Prevent vibrations, eliminate or minimize pulsation and reduce the load on the pump itself. Widest range of damper models available with volumes from 0,04 to 50L, in different types
GLYCOL INJECTION PUMP
Benefits: High pressure applications API 674 Pumps with availability of full scope supply inclusive of all requested auxiliaries, including PLC, VSD, Instrumentation and Monitoring. Solution based package design. Units can be modified easily where adoptions are required, due to the flexible features of our product ranges,.
Fire Fighting
Benefits: Custom design fire pump packages to requirements of NFPA 20 standards and to your design specifications. We offer a broad range of horizontal and vertical split case, vertical in-line, end suction and vertical turbine designs over a wide range of rated capacities and pressures; pumps for every fire pump application
