Sulzer was able to demonstrate that it could deliver the contract on time, ahead of a local manufacturer and the usual international competition. I’m pleased to say that all our key project milestones have been achieved. Sulzer’s SJS pump is an engineered design that is tailored to each application. In this case, Sulzer offered two 2-stage, 35m -long pumps manufactured in super duplex stainless steel. These pumps are designed for extended reliability in marine environments and they are frequently specified for seawater lift applications. Local support Manufacturing of the SJS is located in Spain, where other vertical pumps in Sulzer’s portfolio are also produced. This location offers several benefits including the design and manufacturing expertise already in place as well as approved suppliers for ancillary parts, such as the drive motor, being local to the pump plant. Sergio continues: “The EPC was keen for an expedited delivery on this project. Our experience and the proximity of our suppliers has enabled us to cut the expected delivery time by almost 25% to just 40 weeks. We were even able to organize for the pumps to be air-freighted to Mexico to save over three weeks in delivery time.” At the same time, Sulzer has also delivered four water injection pumps, which are used to pressurize the oil well and improve extraction efficiency. These have been manufactured locally at Sulzer’s facility in Mexico, which will also provide product support in the future. All of the pumps have been delivered on time and installed on the platform, ready for commissioning. 4-5 June 2025 | NEC Birmingham Register your interest at mandeweek.co.uk #SMEW25 Incorporating:
