I search for Compact high-pressure centrifugal pump to handle flow rate in the range of 5000 BPD & discharge pressure in the range of 3000 PSI with suction pressure 50 PSI but the restriction point will be the area as this pump will be installed in offshore oil and gas platform with only 3M*3M available space, is that available in market, or I must go to positive displacement pump.

3Mx3M is only 2 dimensional, X and Y. If you have room in the Z dimension (above and below the mounting surface) maybe you can use a VS6 pump. But that is very high pressure for a centrifugal pump, and flow is pretty low, you would be lucky to get 50% pump efficiency from a centrifugal, that means about 600HP (if this is water...) Positive displacement looks better.
 
A pitot tube pump could meet these conditions. I would look at Rotojet.

Yes I have room in the Z dimension



actually I don't have enough information about pitot tube pump, I will go through it, its maintenance and application in the oil and gas industry


many thanks, I will contact them
and I will update members by their reply
 
Have you got any steam available for a turbine? Being able to spin the pump at 6000-7000 rpm has advantages in terms of reducing the size of the pump.

Do big horsepower electric motors hold up at 120hz?
