Electrical submersible pump for
crude oil transfer

Hyundai Heavy Industries Co Ltd (HHI) has introduced a cable free type electrical submersible pump for crude oil transfer for an underground crude oil stockpile base in collaboration with Korea National Oil Company (KNOC).

The new pump is designed to supply power with connected copper pipes, unlike cable-type pumps, featuring easy installation by stacking every pipe element, small civil space requirement, and excellent cooling and insulation by positive circulation of cooling oil and by fixing copper tubes with insulating engineering plastic elements. It can reduce the construction cost and period of an oil storage base.

"We are also planning to apply this technology to various types of seawater lift pumps for offshore oil facilities, such as offshore oil production units," HHI official said.

The new cable free type electrical submersible pump has a regular voltage of 3,300V, a flow rate of 4,250 ? /h and a total differential head of 130m.
