Abstract: An improved screw pump such as, for example, a twin screw pump, includes a casing including an internal chamber, and first and second rotors rotatably positioned within the chamber of the casing. The first and second rotors have an intermeshing threaded-shape profiling. A plurality of bearing seal assemblies are provided at each end of the first and second rotors. Each bearing seal assembly includes a bearing positioned about an end portion of a rotor to facilitate rotation of the rotor, and a seal positioned about an end portion of a rotor to seal passage of the rotor through the casing. The bearing is coupled to the seal so that the seal may be secured to the casing via the coupling of the bearing to the casing.

Abstract: An improved screw pump such as, for example, a twin screw pump is disclosed. In one embodiment, the screw pump includes a casing, first and second intermeshing rotors, and a liner positioned between the first and second rotors and the casing. In use, the liner is arranged and configured to bend and/or pivot in unison with the first and second rotors under the axial hydraulic pressure experienced by the screw pump during use. In one embodiment, the liner may be arranged and configured to include an asymmetric axial stiffness to facilitate bending of the liner. In another embodiment, the liner may be arranged and configured in multiple segments, the segments being arranged and configured to pivot to approximate the bending of the rotor shafts.

Abstract: The invention relates to a collecting tank for multi-phase mixtures from a hydrocarbon source, having at least one inlet (20) for introducing multi-phase mixtures into the collecting tank (10), and having a plurality of outlet connectors (30), which can be connected to pumps (3) via which multi-phase mixtures are pumped, the outlet connectors (30) being assigned inwardly directed internals (40) which project upwards beyond the collecting-tank base (11) and have a first, upper opening (42) and a second, lower opening (41), wherein the flow cross section of the lower opening (41) is smaller than that of the upper opening (42).

Abstract: The invention relates to an underwater delivery unit with a pump and a drive device that is sealed against the surrounding water and a process medium. According to the invention, the pump (31) and the drive device (32) are combined into a module with a module housing (3) and are arranged in a pressure housing (2), wherein the pressure housing (2) is filled with the process medium and surrounds the module housing (3).

Abstract: The invention relates to a double-flow screw spindle machine for drive generation by multiphase mixtures or for the delivery of multiphase mixtures, comprising at least two separate inlet chambers (11, 12) and an outlet chamber (20), and a separator (30), situated upstream of the inlet chambers (11, 12), for separating liquid phase and gas phase. The object of the present invention is to provide a dual-flow screw spindle machine which is easily adaptable to changed process conditions. This object is achieved by virtue of the fact that both inlet chambers (11, 12) are connected to the separator (30) by separate lines (31, 32; 33) for the gas phase and the liquid phase.

Abstract: A screw displacement pump is provided. The screw displacement pump is of single-entry, double-shaft construction with an external bearing of the two screw shafts. A pump housing encloses the screw shafts by forming feed chambers and externally delimiting the feed chambers with its internal shell surface, as well as a suction chamber for the medium to be induced and a pressure chamber to accommodate the medium pumped by the screw shafts. The pump housing is inserted into a pressure housing and attached to the pressure housing, so that the pressure chamber encloses the pump, at least in part.
