There are many applications and processes that require precision engineered pumps and metering systems that move, measure and dispense difficult and high-value liquids and solids. With its many years of experience in providing processing solutions, AxFlow is ideally qualified to design complex pumping systems for local, as well as multinational, clients. A recent example of a multinational contract is the renewed deal with the French SNF group.
In 2007, AxFlow, together with its partner supplier Bran+Luebbe, was rewarded with a contract for a pumping system for polymer dosing in EOR technology (Enhanced Oil Recovery). The system was to be installed at Petroleum Development in Oman by SNF. SNF is the leading producer of acrylamide-based polymers and has 40 percent of the world production capacity. By using polymer flooding technology, the oil recovery can be increased by up to 50 percent –nearly 20 percent more than when conventional methods are used – and the cost per barrel of recovered oil is significantly lower.
AxFlow’s customer care, expertise and long track record in pumping systems as well as the strong partnership with Bran+Luebbe were the key reasons behind winning a similar contract in November 2009. In this case, the systems will be installed in Indonesia for Chevron Pacific. Both of these projects are essential references, demonstrating AxFlow’s complete offering to the oil industry in the Middle East and elsewhere.
