Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

This invention relates to a multiphase pumping block device comprising a pump and a bypass circuit. Said bypass circuit is suitable for enabling the flow of a fluid from an area upstream of the pump to an area downstream of the pump by bypassing the pump. The latter comprises at least out non-return valve suitable for blocking the flow of the fluid from the area downstream of the pump to the area upstream of the pump in addition, the pumping block device is connected to a set of pumping circuits, comprising a main bypass circuit suitable for enabling the flow of a fluid from an area upstream of the connected pumping block to an area downstream of the connected pumping block. Finally, the pumping block device is arranged in order to be disconnected from said set of circuits for maintenance.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . Multiphase pumping block device ( 110 ) comprising: a pump ( 110 ) suitable for pumping a pumping fluid; a recycle circuit ( 160 ); a splitter tank ( 115 ); wherein, the splitter tank is connected to an area downstream of the pump and is suitable for separating a liquid phase and a gaseous phase using said pumping fluid; wherein the recycle circuit is connected to the splitter tank and is suitable for enabling the flow of the liquid phase from said splitter tank to an area upstream…
