Project Description

The project focused on moving and improving the seal oil system to make it work better and meet GASCO standards. A new location was chosen to reduce pipe bends and improve pressure to the seal gland. A concrete base was built, and the old system was taken apart and reinstalled at the new spot. New pipelines were measured, made, tested, painted, and installed between the seal oil system and the pump. The water cooler was moved 500 mm higher from its original position for better performance. Electrical and instrument parts were also removed and reinstalled on the new setup. Finally, hot tapping was done on the cooling water line for the bearing system.

Scope of Work
  • Identifying the suitable location for installing the seal oil system where it can reduce the number of bends on the seal inlet line which produce the required pressure on the Seal gland to seal the leak.

  • Installation of Concrete foundation for Seal Oil System.

  • Dismantling of existing seal oil system and installing on the new concrete foundation.

  • Using the site survey measurement Pipeline line fabrication, testing and painting was carried out which complies with GASCO requirement and the same was installed between the seal oil system to the pump

  • Modifying of the water cooler, originally it was located at the bottom of the seal Oil system during modification it was replaced/lifted 500 mm above from the seal gland.

  • Dismantling of electrical and instrument equipment from the seal oil system and reinstalled on the relocated Seal Oil system.

  • Hot tapping works were carried out on the existing line which supplies the cooling water to the bearing arrangement.
