The wide variety of applications that can be accommodated by Moyno progressing cavity (PC) pumps has been highlighted by an offshore application. Ten of Moyno’s 2000 Series pumps have been ordered for a new fleet of offshore supply vessels that will be used to service drilling rigs worldwide.
The 2000 Series pumps will be fitted to 10 new HOS MAX 320 supply vessels, which Mississippi-based VT Halter Marine is building for Hornbeck Offshore. The pumps will transfer up to 24-pound liquid mud to and from the vessels, which will be off-loaded when they reach the drilling rigs.
Moyno’s high-performance 2000 Series pumps offer an outstanding combination of low maintenance, minimal downtime and long service life, which all combine to create a low cost of ownership. Both cast iron and stainless steel models are available, with a choice of materials and coatings for rotors and stators, to suit individual applications. The pumps will transfer mud at volumes up to 1,000 GPM, handling pressures of 200 psi. The order was secured through Moyno’s partner company, Chemetec Engineered Equipment.
