By using turbulence more constructively, Typhonix Low Shear Pumps reduce droplet breakup and increase droplet growth while pumping produced water. Since 2017, Typhonix has been supplying low shear centrifugal pumps specially designed for produced water applications.

Typhonix Pumps are low shear centrifugal pumps developed for produced water applications. The patented Low Shear Trim avoids oil droplet breakup. The trim also promotes droplet-droplet coalescence, which enlarges the oil droplets during pumping. Due to the robust design in accordance with API 610, these pumps have large OPEX benefits compared to other commonly used low shear pump types. Typhonix Pumps are available in BB3, BB4, and BB5 configurations.

Typhonix Pumps are built by well-established pump manufacturers, with years of experience and thousands of references. Typhonix Pumps utilize their standard design (BB3/ BB4 / BB5) and our patented Low Shear Trim to enable both low shear and coalescence. This combines the highest standards, years of operational experience and mechanical integrity, with an innovative production friendly design.

Typhonix Pumps can also be supplied as part of a larger pump package. For this, we have established relationships with partners that can offer our pumps in addition to other pump types that do not require low shear trim. Please contact us for further information and refence lists.

• Typhonix Pumps improve the efficiency of produced water treatment equipment.
• Typhonix Pumps have a robust design in accordance with API 610, and therefore have a lower OPEX and MTBF compared to many positive displacement pumps.
• Typhonix Pumps normally do not require any blocked outlet protection (e.g., a PSV), contrary to that of positive displacement pump.
• Typhonix Pumps improve the separation efficiency without resorting to chemicals or additional treatment equipment, reducing reduced oil and chemical discharges.
• Typhonix Pumps contribute to a cost-effective and environmentally friendly separation process.
• Typhonix Pumps contribute to reduced size and footprint of greenfield process plants by increased separation efficiency.
