API PLAN SELECTION

Hi!


For a Multiphase Pumping (MPP) system handling oil, production water, and gas, what would be the most suitable API plan recommendation? Is Plan 11/61 sufficient, considering the fluid composition and potential polymerization? The plan is for the suction side of the pump, and the pump is of the PCP type.


Also, does the choice of API plan depend on the pump type (rpm)? For example, if there is a pump operating at 2500 rpm (twin screw), would it require Plan 54? And if the same fluid is used with a pump operating at 250 rpm(PCP), would Plan 11/61 be sufficient?

Thanks.
