ClydeUnion Pumps celebrates 100 years in the industry
ClydeUnion Pumps, an SPX brand, is celebrating 100 years in the oil and gas industry.
Within the ClydeUnion Pumps extensive product portfolio is the CUP-BB5 range of multi-stage, radially split barrel pumps. These pumps, designed against the latest API 610 oil industry specification, boast comprehensive hydraulic coverage and a long history of proven successful performance in the field.
CUP-BB5s are engineered in a variety of configurations to suit the application and customer needs; from opposed or inline impeller arrangements; volute or diffuser based hydraulics, foot or centerline mounting, and material construction options from carbon steel to super duplex; all features considered to achieve an optimum pumping solution.
The advanced design of the CUP-BB5 includes other key features such as the shear ring cartridge locking system, which enables rapid withdrawal of all the pump internals as a cartridge without disturbing connecting pipework. This greatly reduces the time required to maintain equipment compared to conventional methods.
Sophisticated sealing options designed to meet API 682 standard, include a patented double mechanical seal system that is available to ensure safe operation when pumping aggressive or toxic fluids. A stiff rotor design provides maximum hydraulic efficiency, extended mean time between overhauls and reliable operation.
Through its ClydeUnion Pumps brand, SPX has vast experience in often arduous offshore and onshore oil and gas environments. The CUP-BB5 machines are used extensively throughout the production, transportation and refining sectors, covering diverse applications such as high pressure water injection, liquid pipelines, boiler feed water, and hot hydrocarbon refinery services.

When the tanks are full, the liquefied carbon dioxide will be loaded onto a dedicated carrier from Royal Wagenborg and shipped to the INEOS Nini platform in the Danish North Sea. From there, it will be safely injected via pipeline into subsurface reservoirs approximately 1800 m beneath the seabed for permanent storage.
