WATER INJECTION PUMP MOTOR
Operator:

Gryphon Alpha FPSO, North Sea
Products In Use:
Project:
Water injection pump motor
Challenges:
On the Gryphon Alpha, the water injection pump had been redundant for a few months. When needed to be re-instated, the DC motor was damp. They considered sending the motor back to the beach which would have taken several weeks and wasted thousands of pounds to re-build.
Solution:
The SA FLEXIHEAT ATEX Heater was used to dry out the motor in situ, so that it could be brought back into service quickly.
Feedback:
The heater saved them hundreds of thousands of pounds when they took in the cost of sea freight, downtime, repair, more sea freight and re-installation time plus the issue of managing without the pump. All in all it was a very cost effective solution. The Heater was very simple to use and they will be using this unit for other applications around the vessel.
