Application of Sulzer pumps in the LNG industry
I have read 9 web pages
The application of Sulzer pumps in the LNG industry is very extensive and in-depth, running through the complete industry chain from offshore liquefied natural gas production, onshore receiving station storage to transportation. Its core advantage lies in providing pump products specifically designed for ultra-low temperature conditions of -160 ° C and below, and having deep engineering experience in solving complex problems such as LNG vaporization.

The specific applications are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1、 Core pumping solution for LNG industry chain
Sulzer provides key pumping equipment for various links in the LNG industry chain, covering multiple fields from upstream production to midstream and downstream storage and transportation.

Core application scenarios of industrial chain links, Sulzer pump types/key technologies and characteristics
The key liquid removal system GSG pump (API 610 BB5 type) for upstream production of floating liquefied natural gas production storage and unloading units (FLNG) or onshore liquefaction plants is designed to meet extremely high suction pressure requirements and handle liquids of different densities, ensuring stable operation in harsh offshore or onshore environments.
The core advantage of JVCR type pumps (API 610 VS6 type) for LNG loading/unloading at midstream storage and transportation LNG receiving stations/transport ships is that they can cope with extremely low effective cavitation head (NPSHa) conditions, and even "create" the required NPSHa.
Extreme parameters: flow rate of 1130 m ³/h, head of 2450 meters, pressure of 100 bar, temperature range of -170 ° C to+200 ° C.
Key design: Adopting a "J-shaped unit" sealing system ensures that the shaft seal operates at ambient temperature, greatly improving the reliability of the low-temperature pump.
The BOG treatment and recondensation technology for midstream LNG transport ships/receiving stations recovers and recondenses the BOG generated during LNG storage tanks and loading and unloading processes into liquid, effectively avoiding pollution and economic losses caused by gas venting. It has a simple structure, small size, and can be installed inside a cold box, making it particularly suitable for ship fuel systems (FGSS) with limited space.
Sulzer provides special material matching and acoustic analysis to ensure the reliability of the SJD pump (API 610 VS1&VS6) for midstream storage and transportation of LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) and low-temperature light hydrocarbon transportation, in response to the challenges of LPG (vapor pressure up to 40 barg, specific gravity<0.4, extremely poor lubricity).
Key parameters: flow rate of 3800 m ³/h, head of 900 meters, temperature of 205 ° C.
2、 Differentiated technologies to address challenges in the LNG industry
Sulzer's success in the LNG industry lies not only in having a full range of products, but also in its cutting-edge technology to address industry specific challenges:

Excellent low-temperature sealing technology: Sulzer has developed patented technologies such as the "J-Unit" low-temperature sealing system for LNG's -160 ° C ultra-low temperature characteristics. The system introduces Barrier Fluid to create an isolation zone between the mechanical seal and the low-temperature medium, allowing standard and validated mechanical seals to operate at ambient temperatures, fundamentally solving the problem of seal failure at low temperatures.

Engineering capability for handling easily vaporized and low lubricious media: LNG and LPG are extremely prone to vaporization (requiring excellent anti cavitation performance of the pump) and have extremely poor lubricity (posing a huge challenge to bearings and seals). Sulzer's JVCR pump solves the problem of anti cavitation through special hydraulic design; SJD pumps ensure long-term reliability in low lubricity media through special material matching and acoustic analysis. This comprehensive engineering capability is the key to becoming a leader in the industry.

Energy recovery and efficiency optimization: High pressure transportation is the norm in LNG liquefaction plants and large receiving stations. Sulzer not only provides efficient pumps, but also offers energy recovery devices such as hydraulic turbines (HPRT), which recover high-pressure liquid energy to assist in driving pumps, significantly reducing the overall energy consumption of the factory.

3、 Iconic project performance
Sulzer's technological strength has also been validated by top global projects. For example, in the Ichthys LNG project in Australia, Sulzer was awarded a contract to provide six sets of large API 610 BB5 pumps for its offshore central processing facility (CPF) to transport condensate from offshore platforms to an FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading Unit) located 3.5 kilometers away. This example fully demonstrates the reliability and technological strength of its products in ultra long distance transportation and extreme marine environments.

In summary, the application of Sulzer pumps in the LNG industry relies on a product line covering the entire industry chain, cutting-edge technology for ultra-low temperature/easily vaporized media, and deep experience accumulated in globally iconic projects

Sulzer's pumps that comply with API 610 VS6 standards are mainly its SJD series vertical drum bag pumps and JVCR series high-pressure drum bag pumps. This is a vertical, multi-stage, double shell pump specifically designed to handle ultra-high head conditions with extremely low device cavitation head (NPSHa), and is one of the most technologically advanced pump types in the process industry.

🔧  Core structural characteristics
The structural design of SJD/JVCR pumps revolves around the core of ultra-low cavitation allowance adaptability, high reliability, and easy maintenance:

Compliant with international standards: Designed strictly in accordance with ISO 13709/API 610 (VS6) standards to ensure the reliability of equipment under harsh operating conditions.

Vertical cylinder bag (double shell) design: The pump body consists of an outer cylinder (pressure vessel) and an inner component (core package). The pump is immersed in the liquid, and the outer cylinder only bears the inlet pressure, fundamentally solving the problem of low cavitation allowance and achieving a leak free design.

Optimized hydraulic design and axial force balance:

High performance first stage impeller: Adopting Sulzer's low cavitation head (NPSH) first stage impeller technology, large pumps can also choose dual suction first stage impellers to significantly reduce the required cavitation head (NPSHr), and even operate under extremely low suction conditions without the need for inducers.

High head stages and compact design: Each stage of impeller can generate high head, thereby reducing the total number of stages, shortening the pump shaft length, and improving rotor rigidity.

Axial force balance: The balance drum device is used to balance most of the axial force, and the remaining thrust is borne by the heavy-duty thrust bearing.

Robust rotor and bearing system:

Multi point support structure: For pumps with a long insertion depth, there is a liquid sliding bearing in the middle, and multi-point support is used to ensure operational stability.

Independent lubrication system: The upper thrust bearing box is equipped with an independent lubricating oil circulation system to ensure reliable lubrication of the bearings.

Flexible modular structure:

Customized casting or welding outlet heads, as well as inlet cylinder bags with anti eddy current function, can be made according to project requirements.

Core package design: The internal components of the pump (impeller, guide vanes, shaft, etc.) can be extracted as a whole from the outer cylinder, greatly facilitating on-site maintenance and repair.

Sealing adapted to extreme working conditions:

The sealed chamber fully complies with the API 682 standard and can be equipped with various single end or series mechanical seals, as well as cooling and flushing systems.

The JVCR series is equipped with a specialized J-unit sealing system, which can operate reliably under cryogenic service conditions such as LNG.

📊  Main performance parameters
Sulzer VS6 pumps offer multiple series to meet different operating conditions, with the main performance parameters as follows:

Performance project SJD series (VS6/VS7) JVCR series (VS6) connected to VS6 (for reference)

Additional explanation: According to industry data, the head of Sulzer TTMC series (VS6) small flow pumps has exceeded 977 meters in application, and the highest head in foreign applications has even reached 1292 meters.
