PUMP TECHNOLOGY
Leistritz Pumpen GmbH, with its headquarters in Nuremberg/
Germany, has been producing screw pumps since 1924. The first
Leistritz screw pump was developed by Paul Leistritz as main lube
oil pump for bearings of steam turbine generator sets.
Now, nearly one century later, Leistritz offers the widest product
range of screw pumps world-wide, and has become a reliable sup-
plier and partner for complete plant engineering with an extended
scope of supply.
Especially in times of unpredictable oil price fluctuations, the oil &
gas industry is experiencing a boisterous development.
Innovative pumping systems contribute to flexible, smooth and
cost-efficient operations. They are the cornerstones of an econom-
ic oil production and handling.
Permanent improvement and development of latest technolo-
gy in combination with strictly controlled quality is the basis for
the globally recognized efficiency and reliability of Leistritz screw
pumps.

MULTIPHASE PUMPS IN ALGERIA

Leistritz pumps are used in numerous
projects all over the world. A recent
project in this range was executed in an
oil field in Algeria. Since February 2014
seven Leistritz multiphase pumps have
been transferring crude oil and gas with
a gas volume fraction (GVF) up to 97
per cent from the wellheads and mani-
folds to centralised treatment facilities.
After separating oil and gas, the oil is
transferred over a distance of 700 km
across the Sahara to the Mediterranean
Sea. With the multiphase pump as the
heart of the system, the scope of supply
includes baseframe, driver, instrumenta-
tion, on-skid piping with valves, auxilia-
ry systems, control equipment etc..

  Production

PRODUCTION
Handling liquids and gas at the wellhead of an
oil field is a costly procedure.
Using multiphase pump technology facilitates
a wide range of benefits such as flexibility of
production and distinctly reduced capital- as
well as operational expenses.
The conventional way is to separate the asso-
ciated gas from the liquid fraction and to con-
vey them in separate pipelines to a gathering
point for the next handling process.
Extensive conventional equipment like sepa-
rators, compressors, liquid pumps, heaters or
individual flow lines are now replaced by eco-
nomical multiphase pumps, which boost the
entire well flow to a central treatment facility
through only one pipeline.
Leistritz multiphase pumps and systems are
globally used for handling untreated well flow
with gas volume fractions (GVF) up to 100 %,
flow rates up to 5000 m³/h and differential
pressures up to 100 bar.
Our pump systems are designed to operate
under severe ambient conditions in remote
locations onshore, offshore or even subsea.
With our expert knowledge far beyond the
pump, Leistritz can provide an extended scope
of supply including process piping and in-
strumentation as well as complete electrical
equipment and engineering support.

1 MULTIPHASE BOOSTER PUMP L4MK

L4MK The untreated well flow is boosted by Leistritz multiphase pumps, series L4, to a
central treatment facility. With their ability to work at low suction pressure along
with a high differential pressure capability, Leistritz Multiphase Pumps are ideal
for applications on marginal and declining oil fields. External liquid management
systems guarantee trouble-free operation in case of extended slug flow periods.
1 MULTIPHASE PUMP L4 WITH THERMAL INSULATION
L4MK Leistritz multiphase pumps with insulation are used for applications where the
systems are installed outside under severe ambient conditions. The insulation
of the pumps, the piping and the instrumentation along with heat tracing en-
sures trouble-free operation in case of sudden frost or low temperature periods
during the winter months.
1 MULTIPHASE PUMP L4 ON OFFSHORE PLATFORMS
L4HK Based on their small footprint and low weight, Leistritz multiphase pump sys-
tems are particularly suitable for the installation on offshore platforms. The skid
design and the arrangement of the accessories can be adapted to the available
space on large production platforms or small wellhead platforms.

1 MULTIPHASE PUMP L4 AS MOBILE BLOW DOWN UNIT

L4HK Leistritz multiphase blow down units are portable, self-contained pump units to
remove and boost liquids when gas wells stop flowing due to unwanted liquid
plugs. This eliminates the need of flaring or venting and allows the operator to
capture all the valuable gas and NGLs in their existing pipeline network.

3 PRODUCED WATER PUMP L4

L4NG Formation water or injected water are usually produced along with oil and gas
from a well or well cluster. The so called produced water is separated and
treated to minimize the final oil and solids content. Leistritz L4 Pumps are used
to re-inject the produced water into the reservoirs to force the oil to the surface.

ADVANTAGES LEISTRITZ
MULTIPHASE PUMP SYSTEM:
 Reduction of CAPEX and OPEX by eliminating
separation and processing equipment
 Proper well management to increase
production efficiency
 Reducing the back pressure on the well allows
the reservoir to accelerate effective production
and extend the time of possible well operation

  FPSO

FPSO
The offshore oil & gas industry uses floating
production, storage and off-loading (FPSO)
vessels in order to process and store gas and
oil until it can be unloaded onto tankers or
forwarded through pipelines.
The well flow is boosted by single phase or
multiphase pumps. Leistritz twin screw pumps
of the L4-Series are particularly suitable for
this purpose.
The export crude oil is transfered by twin
screw pumps (L4-Series) or triple screw pumps
(L3-Series). High volume twin screw pumps
transfer the crude oil to shuttle tankers which
serve refineries and storage terminals onshore.
During oil production not only crude oil and
gas is pumped but also produced water which
can have a high amount of corrosive contents.
For that reason all medium wetted pump parts
can be made of special materials in order
to prevent pitting corrosion. Leistritz screw
pumps are typically used for boosting the
produced water into a hydro cyclone where the
remaining oil and sand will be extracted.

1 ELECTRIC DEHYDRATING PUMP

L4 One method used to separate water from oil in offshore oil fields is the principle of elec-
trostatic separation. Leistritz dehydrating pumps, series L4, are used for the supply of the
electrostatic separator. The water content of crude oil is a very important parameter that
characterizes the grade or quality. In general a water content (BSW) of 0,2 % to 0,5 % by
volume is considered as acceptable. The small water drops in crude oil are getting seper-
ated in a strong electric field. Cathods and anods attract small water drops in order to form
bigger ones. This procedure enables water separation from crude oil.

2 PRODUCED WATER BOOSTER PUMP

L4NG Formation water or produced water are usually explored along with oil and gas from a
well or well cluster. The produced water is separated and treated to minimize the oil and
solids content.

3 CRUDE FORWARDING PUMP

After the electrostatic separation Leistritz triple screw pumps, series L3, are used for transferring oil from the settling tank to the
storage tank in the FPSO vessel.

4 CRUDE TRANSFER/UNLOADING PUMP

L4NG Leistritz L4 pumps will transfer the crude oil from the crude oil tank to the oil tanker.
Low NPSH reqirements and reliable flow, free of turbulence, easy handling and many
more are major advantages.

5 STRIPPING PUMP L4
L4NG The product remaining on the bottom of the crude storage tanks is normally of heavy
and high viscous nature and contains solids. Low speed Leistritz screw pumps, series L4,
with excellent suction capabilities and the ability to run dry are preferred for tank strip-
ping. Variable speed operation along with a special screw design guarantees excellent
NPSHR values and minimized pulsation.

6
SLOPS & DRAINS PUMP
L5NT Slop and drain systems are used to collect leakages and drainages from stationary or rotating equipment in
upstream production facilities. The systems can be open or closed. In horizontal or vertical position Leistritz L4
pumps are used to transfer these mixtures of water, hydrocarbons and solids to separators or to re-inject into the
trunk line.

  Crude transfer

CRUDE
TRANSFER
Large amounts of oil and gas products are trans-
ferred via pipelines for hundreds of miles. To
overcome the pressure demands, with coincident
high efficiencies, Leistritz booster pumps are used.
To bring a liquid filled pipeline back to operation, it
is inevitable to accelerate the liquid flow to a
certain level of velocity. The mass inertia of the
liquid column and the friction losses of the liquid
inside the pipeline system, will cause, depending
on the pipeline length, a high backpressure during
start-up of the system. This leads to distinctly
increased torque and power requirements through
the complete speed range of the pump.
To avoid unnecessary oversized motors and
variable frequency drives, smaller start-up pumps
are used for getting the pipeline back to normal
operation. These pumps are specially designed for
high differential pressures with a defined flow rate
which is mostly lower than for the main booster
pumps.
After the flow velocity is reached, the main pumps
are switched into operation for further increase of
the flow rate up to normal operation conditions.

1 BOOSTER PUMP L3 AND L4

L3 Different types of oil can be boosted up to high differential pressures with our Leistritz
twin screw or triple screw pumps. The usage of variable speed drives ensures a flexible,
economic and reliable run during changing operation conditions and start up.

2 START-UP PUMPS L3 AND L4

L4HK Smaller high pressure triple screw pumps, series L3, or high pressure twin screw pumps,
series L4, are installed in bypass as pipeline start-up pumps for a differential pressure up
to 100 bar. These pumps are required when the main pipeline pumps cannot overcome
the friction losses during start-up of a filled crude oil pipeline. After the fluid is running,
it will be switched to the bigger booster pump.

3 CRUDE TRANSFER PUMPS L2, L3 AND L4

L2NG For pumping crude oil through pipelines to a refinery or to ships, railcars or trucks, crude
oil transfer pumps are required. Leistritz screw pumps are capable of handling wide
viscosity and pressure ranges at flow rates up to 4000 m³/h. Screw pumps, series L4, are
typically used as crude oil transfer pumps. L3-series triple screw pumps and L2-series
twin screw pumps are used for special transfer applications.

TRANSPORT OF AGGRESSIVE FLUIDS

 To transport fluids with highly abrasive, corrosive and/or hazardeous contents
you need the flexibility to use different types of material with constant quality
and performance.
 Leistritz pump materials are always selected according to client’s operating
conditions and range from simple carbon steel to superduplex or alloy grades.
Additionally Leistritz offers various types of surface treatments such as stellite,
tungston carbide or hard-chrome coatings.

  Distribution & storage

DISTRIBUTION
& STORAGE
midstream and downstream
With the enormous increase of oil production
worldwide, efficient above-ground tank con-
cepts at storage terminals became the basis of a
reliable and cost efficient mid- and downstream
process. Well sized storage reservoirs provide
buffers between the production and the treat-
ment of crude oil or respectively between prod-
uct treatment and end users to allow the timely
accurate delivery of its stored products.
High energy demand, worldwide tight environ-
mental regulations and the need of operating
cost reduction are the main focuses of today’s
end users.
For effective distribution different kinds of fluids
need to be handled trouble free at the same
time.
Leistritz answers to this demand with reliable
pump systems with low MTBFs which can work
on lowest NPSH/NPIP margins and which can
react on changing operating conditions imme-
diately and without the need of a process shut
down.

UNLOADING PUMPS L2, L4 AND L5

Unloading of different oils from trucks and railcars are typical applications for Leistritz screw pumps, series L2, L4 and L5. L2- and
L5-series pumps have only one sealing to the atmosphere while the L4-Series can offer an interchangeable liner. All of these pumps
have the ability to run dry (L2 and L5 with time limitation), they are self priming and can handle a certain amount of solids.

L4NG L4NG

LOADING AND TRANSFER PUMP L2, L3, L4 AND L5

A variety of oil based products are transferred from the storage tanks to ships, railcars and trucks for transportation to the end
users. Leistritz screw pumps of all series are used in these applications. Leistritz screw pumps, series L2 and L3, are transferring
both, light and heavy oil to different storage facilities and to load trucks and railcars. With their excellent suction capability and
low pulsation, L4-pumps are used in these applications for higher flow rates. The pumps handle viscosities of more than 3000
cSt. A special screw design guarantees very low NPSHR values. Flow rates up to 4,500 m³/h permit short loading periods resulting
in low port fees for ocean going vessels. L5-series pumps are also used for high flow rates and pressure up to 10 bar.

L3MG L4MG

CRUDE CIRCULATION PUMPS L2, L3 AND L4

The crude oil stored in the tanks must be circulated to avoid separation and to maintain the temperature. Additionally, the
system pipework must be regularly flushed to prevent the adhesion of wax or other substances reducing the nominal diameter.
Leistritz screw pumps, series L2, L3 and L4, are used to circulate the product through the system pipework and/or heaters.

RESIDUE/TANK CLEANING PUMP L4

Crude oil storage tanks must be cleaned on a regular basis. Leistritz screw pumps, series L4, handle these often highly vis-
cous residues consisting of heavy oil sludge and solids. Special tungsten carbide coating of the screws and stellite coating on
the liners protect the pumps against excessive wear and increase the service life considerably.

REFINERY
The unprocessed crude oil has to be refined into
consumable petroleum products. These refined
products are usually grouped into three catego-
ries:
Light distillates (LPG, gasoline, naphtha),
medium distillates (kerosene, diesel) and
heavy distillates/residues (fuel oil, lubricating
oils, wax, tar).
From unloading the unprocessed crude to
loading of the final products, Leistritz screw
pumps are operating in various functions in oil
refineries.

  Refinery

1 CRUDE UNLOADING AND FINAL PRODUCT LOADING PUMPS L2 AND L4

L4NG Various types of crude oil must be unloaded from different sources (like railcars etc.) or
pumped from the onshore production site to the refinery. The final products are loaded
onto ships, railcars or trucks. For both services Leistritz twin screw pumps, series L2 and
L4, are the prefered choice because of their high flow rates and self-priming, dry-run-
ning and solids handling capabilities.

2 CRUDE CHARGING PUMPS L2 AND L4

L4NG Leistritz Screw Pumps transfer and charge the crude oil to the various processes of the
refinery. All Leistritz screw pump series can be used, however, twin screw pumps of the
L2- and L4-series are preferably used because of their ability to handle larger solids in
the product, which offers an extended MTBF.

3 ATMOSPHERIC TANK BOTTOMS /VACUUM RESIDUE PUMP L4

L4MG The tank bottoms from the atmospheric distillation vessel must be transported to the
vacuum distillation vessel. After distillation the vacuum residues are transfered to the
de-asphalting process for the production of asphalt, bitumen, wax and fuel oil. These hot
bottoms and residues are usually pumped with Leistritz screw pumps, series L4, which
are designed to handle large solids at temperatures up to 320°C. The low NPSHR values
of the Leistritz twin screw pumps, series L4, allow a higher reactor vacuum and hence, an
improved reactor efficiency.

4 SLOPS & DRAINS OIL PUMPS L2 AND L4

L2NG Various drains and waste hydrocarbons must be pumped to the separator station of a
refinery. All Leistritz screw pump series can be used. twin screw pumps of the L2- and
L4-series are primarily installed because of their solids handling abilities.

5 BLENDING/FINAL PRODUCT TRANSFER PUMPS L2 AND L4

L2NG The clean or blended refined products are transfered to the export tanks. High viscous
liquids as heavy fuel oil, paraffin, wax, asphalt, bitumen, base oil and molten sulphur
as well as light products are handled by Leistritz screw pumps of all series. Twin Screw
Pumps of the L2- and L4-series are mainly used because they tolerate large solids in the
pumped product, which offers an extended MTBF.

6 CIRCULATION PUMPS L2 AND L4

L2NG Particularly high viscous products (e.g. asphalt/bitumen) have to be circulated in the
storage tank to guarantee homogeneous product quality in all tank levels. The circulation
of these hot, viscous hydrocarbons is usually done by Leistritz twin screw pumps, series
L2 and L4.

L2NG AS BITUMEN/FINAL PRODUCT TRANSFER PUMP

7 In a refinery, several competitor double floating
L2NG pumps, were exchanged and the existing
pipelines could be used. Only a new base
frame and completely new electronics are part
of the scope by Leistritz. Now the pump can
afford higher flow volumes with a lower power
requirement. Other advantages:

with one another. These are the prerequisites to
facilitate the high-quality manufacturing of pump
components.
To accomplish this high standard, we produce the
screws and housings, i.e. the core elements of the
Leistritz pumps, ourselves in Germany - under the
aspect of the ultimate precision and with a high
level of production knowledge vertical integration.
This is particularly due to the symbiosis of the
various products of the Leistritz Group in the form
of superior materials know-how and in-house
metal processing technologies, such as whirling. In
addition to our numerous machines, it is particu-
larly our team that convinces our customers with
its well-founded expertise and extensive manufac-
turing know-how.
