Hey everyone!
I am very grateful for the support I've found in this group. Again, I am here with an operational question.
The situation is, when I am helping in sizing a multiphase pump, manufacturer offers only one twin screw option for handling about 35,000 bepd, but this configuration is out of economic range, so there is another option.
What would happen if the customer decides to use two progressive cavity pumps in parallel to provide the total flow I need?
What are the electrical requeriments or problems I might find in this arrangement?
What are the operational, efficiency, or mechanical problems that might result?
I have been searching for information in similar situations, but I cannot find anyone, I mean, when we talk about centrifugal pumps parallel arrangement is often seen, but when I am talking about a multiphase flow in which I cannot know the real amount of gas each time, I am not sure.
The idea is not mine, but I would like to get some feedback in this situation because there is a lack of information.
Any reference literature to read about this topic?
The pump should be API 676 standard. The amount of gas is max 85% GVF.
Thank you in advance.
