Mitsubishi wins Technip orders
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Compressor Corp (MCO), a wholly owned subsidiary of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd (MHI), has bagged orders from Technip France for three compressor trains and a power generation system to be used at the world’s first floating liquefied natural gas production, storage and offloading facility (FLNG).
Shell will deploy the FLNG facility to the Prelude field located off the northwest coast of Australia.
The three compressor trains on order are used for gas recovery from gas wells and for the transmission and compression of gas in the gas treatment and for stabilisation.
Blackmer pumps highlighted
Blackmer highlights that its X and GX Series sliding vane pumps have been designed with features that make them ideal for the loading, transfer and unloading of solvents, which are crucial components in paint and coatings manufacturing applications.
Solvents, also known as the “carrier,” are the portion of the paint that helps get the pigment and binder from the container onto the surface that is to be painted.
What separates the GX Series pumps—which are available in four different models with flow rates ranging from 30 and 520 gpm (114 and 1,855 lpm)—from the X Series models is the incorporation of an integral head-mounted gear-reduction drive that features oil-lubricated, hardened helical gears.
