Abstract: This pumping installation comprises a source (1) of liquid and a turbo-machine comprising a pump (7) having an intake (8) and an outlet (9) and a turbine (5) which is fixed on the same shaft as the pump (7) and which has an intake (6) and an outlet (4). The outlet (4) of the turbine (5) opens into a conduit communicating the source (1) with the pump (7).
Abstract: Process for pumping fluid composed of a liquid phase and of a gaseous phase, which involves conveying liquid under pressure to the inlet of the turbine of a turbo-machine comprising a pump and a turbine, mixing some of the liquid coming from the turbine with the fluid, and sucking the mixture through the inlet of the pump so as to reduce the gas content of the fluid and allow it to be conveyed by the pump.
