Pumping solutions for the oil industry: from the platform to the pipeline
Pumps for oil platforms: reliability in extreme conditions
Nova Rotors positions itself as a strategic partner in the oil industry, offering innovative pumping solutions for onshore and offshore oil platforms, pipelines and refinery plants. Our pumps for oil platforms and pipelines guarantee excellent performance in the transfer of crude oil, refining fluids and complex petroleum products. Thanks to progressive cavity technology and supplied according to API 676, cartridge seals according to API 682, our pumping systems ensure operational reliability in extreme conditions, from handling high-viscosity oil pumps to critical applications on offshore platform pumps. Our decades of experience in the oil & gas sector allows us to offer customized solutions that optimize operational efficiency and reduce maintenance costs along the entire oil value chain.
Pumps for oil platforms represent the beating heart of extraction and production operations, where reliability is not just a requirement but an absolute necessity for operational continuity. Nova Rotors has developed specific solutions for the needs of oil platforms, combining the mechanical robustness of Diamond progressive cavity pumps with marine corrosion-resistant materials.
Our pumps for oil platforms effectively handle multiphase fluids containing water, oil, gas and sediments, typical of oil production environments. The innovative design of Diamond single-screw pumps allows gentle transfer of crude oil without damaging oil droplets, a crucial aspect for maintaining product quality during separation and treatment operations.
The Nova Rotors flanged industrial series meets API 676 specifications for the oil industry, guaranteeing consistent performance even with operating pressures up to 48 bar. Pumps for oil platforms are available in ATEX version for explosive zones, with motorization according to IECEx ensuring maximum operational safety in compliance with the most stringent international regulations.
Pumps for offshore platforms: cutting-edge marine technology
The offshore environment presents unique technical challenges that require pumping solutions specifically designed to withstand the most severe marine conditions. Our offshore platform pumps incorporate highly corrosion-resistant materials, such as duplex and superduplex stainless steels, special Inconel and Hastelloy alloys for high temperature and pressure applications.
Nova Rotors offshore platform pumps excel in managing water injection systems for reservoir pressure maintenance, production fluid pumping and fire protection systems critical for platform safety. The Wobble floating stator technology dynamically adapts to varying operating conditions, guaranteeing optimal performance even in the presence of complex fluids and solid particles.
RINA and Lloyd's Register certification of our offshore platform pumps ensures compliance with the highest international maritime standards. The robust design allows to face vibrations, thermal shocks and mechanical stresses without compromising operational efficiency, essential elements for uninterrupted offshore oil production.
Pipeline pumps: efficiency in long-distance transport
Oil transport systems via pipeline require pipeline pumps capable of guaranteeing constant flows over long distances, handling high pressures and fluids with variable physical-chemical characteristics. Nova Rotors offers complete solutions for every segment of the oil transport network, from main pumping stations to intermediate booster stations.
Our pipeline pumps stand out for their ability to maintain constant flow rates regardless of crude oil viscosity variations, eliminating the need for expensive pulsation dampeners required by alternative technologies. This characteristic is particularly advantageous in the transport of heavy oil and complex petroleum products, where flow stability is crucial for the operational efficiency of the pipeline.
Nova Rotors pipeline pumps are designed to operate in pumping stations with high power and flow rates exceeding 10,000 m³/h, guaranteeing excellent performance in loading and unloading terminals between pipelines, tanker ships and storage tanks. The modular configuration allows adaptation to different plant configurations and specific operational requirements.
Oil pumps: optimal management of complex fluids
The handling of oil pumps requires specific technologies capable of preserving the quality characteristics of the product during transfer. Nova Rotors progressive cavity pumps are designed to gently handle oils of different viscosity, from light lubricants to high-density bitumens, keeping the molecular structure and physical-chemical properties unaltered.
The Diamond series oil pumps excel in the transfer of refined petroleum products, processing residues and used oils destined for recovery. Single-screw technology guarantees a uniform and continuous flow without generating unwanted emulsions or alterations of the organoleptic characteristics of the petroleum product.
For specific applications in the treatment and recovery of industrial oils, Nova Rotors oil pumps offer customized solutions with compatible materials and mechanical seals compliant with API 682 standards. The application versatility allows use in refineries, petrochemical plants and used oil collection centers, guaranteeing operational efficiency and environmental sustainability.
