Pump systems
for the oil and
gas industry
SELECTING the right material, high-quality processing of
the raw material, complying with demanding tolerances of
form and position – all of these are criteria used by Butting
to ensure the functional security and long life of its stainless
steel components in pump units for the offshore area.
For more than 15 years, Butting has been producing riser
pipes, well-heads and special ready-to-install components
for pump units that have a high degree of operational safety
and corrosion resistance.
Huge quantities of salt water are required every day, all
over the world, to ensure that oil and natural gas can be
brought to the surface, stored and loaded. For the offshore
industry, Butting produces components for pump systems
used on FPSO tankers or oil platforms.
In the offshore area, the pump units are used for cooling
purposes in the field of service, industrial and process water.
In addition, they are used for fire extinguisher systems in
order to have sufficient water to put out any fires. Pumps
suck in salt water, and riser pipes and the connected well-
head bring it up to the platform.
Filter screens produced by Butting often protect the pump
system and prevent impurities in the water from being
sucked into the pump, making an important contribution to
ensure the systems can function in the long term.
butting’s experience and competence in the welding,
forming and materials technology field allow the company
to produce all of the components for the pump units, except
for the pump itself.
In order to ensure corrosion resistance in aggressive,
salty seawater, duplex (1.4462) and Super duplex materials
(1.4501) are frequently used in the pump systems. butting
has been processing these materials since they were
developed, for the offshore industry, among other areas.
Butting supplies complete customised solutions through
the use and combination of specific procedural applications
along the process chain, such as the laser, welding, metal
cutting and forming technologies.
A high degree of automation and reproducibility ensures
processing quality. Production is done to fit particular sizes,
eg H7/f6. A quality assurance system, which supports
production, guarantees compliance with the selected
tolerances, eg through measuring the pipe components with
3d measuring devices.
Butting can produce components from 1" in size according
to international standards, and can perform comprehensive
tests on them, for example in accordance with NORSOK
specification or with the customer’s own specification.
Ready-to-fit parts only have to be assembled, equipped
with an engine and a pump, and installed on the oil platform.
