Three-screw, positive-displacement pumps

A new range of three screw, positive displacement, high pressure series pumps is designed for handling liquids with little or no lubricating properties, liquids that are corrosive or that contain abrasives.

Examples include fresh or seawater, desalinated or deionized water, acid-containing liquids, boiler feedwater, caustic solutions, emulsions, naphtha, waste oils and solvents, and residual oils. The use of stainless steel casings, proprietary metal-ceramic lined housing and superhard-coated, corrosion resistant steel pumping screws help give long life on difficult services. Pumps offer high efficiency, low pulsation, low noise levels, and low shearing of the liquid pumped.

Flow rates of 10-220 gpm and discharge pressures to 1,160 psi are available. Variable flow can be achieved using variable speed drives. Pumps are suited for combustion gas turbine water injection for NOx emission reduction, water hydraulics, chemical processing, and liquid fuel atomization for boilers and gas turbines.

A stainless steel housing option now is available for the I/A Series intelligent pressure transmitter family. The new stainless housing is designed for use in harsh environments, such as offshore drilling platforms and other corrosive operations.

The new stainless steel enclosure provides NEMA 4X environmental protection and has flameproof and explosionproof ratings. FM, CSA, and CENELEC also certify the transmitter for intrinsically safe operation. The transmitters are available with an analog 4-20 ma, 4-20 ma with HART protocol, low power voltage, Foundation Fieldbus, or FoxCom intelligent digital output.

A variety of process wetted parts, analog or digital output, all in a corrosion resistant package, help suit this pressure transmitter for all pressure measurement needs, including as a spare transmitter for retrofit applications.

Velocity modeling, depth conversion

DepthTeam Express is a new solution for integrating seismic and geologic data. It helps interpreters quickly analyze and comprehend relationships between time and depth data, promising accurate interpretations, earth models, and well plans.

The system was created specifically for E&P interpreters, providing easy-to-use tools, quick access to all data types, and 3D visualization for data analysis and collaboration. It is designed to make velocity modeling and depth conversion a part of every interpretation work flow.

DepthTeam Express allows geophysicists, geologists, and engineers to easily collaborate. Problem areas are quickly identified and relationships between disparate data types are more easily understood, elevating confidence in the earth model and in well plans.

The system is a new component of the DepthTeam suite, this firm's scalable solution for velocity modeling, depth conversion, and depth imaging.
