Curtiss-Wright (NYSE: CW) and Saipem have achieved a significant milestone in the subsea applications industry with the completion of the qualification process for an all-electric seabed barrier fluid-less pump. This innovative technology, developed from proprietary solutions in the nuclear sector, enables subsea injection of treated sea water into reservoirs, extending the lifecycle of subsea fields.
The new pump design eliminates the need for barrier fluid, using sea water for cooling and lubrication, while the motor is protected by a canned casing. This approach reduces costs by replacing conventional hydraulic umbilicals with power/control cables.
