Sulzer upgrades new test facility with investment
4
Sulzer has invested more than $3 million at its plant in Leeds (UK) to upgrade the existing gas turbine driven equipment test bed to be capable of running units up to 30 MW (i.e. Rolls Royce RB211) at full load.
One of the main reasons behind the investment is the oil companies growing need for larger, higher pressure pumps to be fully string tested before shipment, often to remote locations.
This is part of Sulzer’s programme of building, packaging and testing large centrifugal pumps for the oil and gas market. In addition to pumps, compressors can also be tested in the new building.
The new building 62mx23mx20m high has replaced a pre-existing facility and will allows up to 2 x 30 MW and 1 x 10 MW gas turbine driven sets to be assembled at the same time inside it.
