Shell selects Sulzer/FMC subsea technology
Ebara builds new pump plant in Vietnam
Sulzer and FMC Technologies have secured a subsea multiphase boosting pump contract from oil giant Shell to upgrade one of its pumping modules in Parque das Conchas, a deepwater oil field off the coast of Brazil.
Ebara Vietnam Pump Co Ltd (EVPC) has offically opened a new pump manufacturing plant in Hai Duong, Vietnam and transferred its headquarters to the site.
The mudline pump fits into an existing infrastructure with minor and cost-efficient modifications, and is smaller and lighter than the pump it replaces.
The subsea pump will be manufactured from a global supply chain with a large amount of assembly and testing conducted at Sulzer’s facilities located in the UK. This first subsea pump for Shell from FMC Technologies and Sulzer will be launched in the field in 2017.
EVPC built the new facility to increase its production capacity, having outgrown its old plant as the company expanded operations.

will produce large pumps as well as pumps to a range of specifications. The facility has an integrated manufacturing system from the production of molds to the assembly of pumps. Ebara has had a presence in Vietnam for more than 20 years. www.ebarapump.com.vn www.ebara.co.jp

Wilo expands in sewage technology by acquiring GVA Wilo SE has retroactively acquired GVA (Gesellschaft für Verfahren der Abwassertechnik mbH & Co KG), a German company specialising in system technology and components for biological sewage treatment. Founded in 1984, GVA is headquartered in Wülfrath with a plant in Sangerhausen. Products include aeration systems and agitators.

“By acquiring GVA, Wilo SE has taken an important step towards expanding its activities in the sewage sector. Innovative sewage treatment requires the right experience and economical and environmentally friendly technology, which is particularly important due to climate change, demographic trends and the increasing scarcity of water,” said Carsten Krumm, a member of Wilo’s executive board.
Wilo says that the acquisition of GVA, which is retroactive from 1 January 2016, is another important milestone in the pump manufacturer's development from a component supplier to a fullline system supplier for biological sewage treatment. “The GVA product range complements Wilo’s portfolio perfectly,” added Krumm. “Plant efficiency
and economy also depend on optimal service and maintenance, which we also offer in packages tailored for the project.” GVA managing director René Brunßen will continue to manage the business under Wilo ownership. www.wilo.com www.gva-net.de
