Sulzer Pumps and FMC Technologies have signed a long-term and exclusive collaboration agreement aimed at strengthening their existing relationship related to the supply of pumps for subsea applications, and the further development of Sulzer’s pumping technology to meet the future needs of FMC and the wider subsea industry.
Through the agreement, both companies aim to further leverage leading-edge technology that they have already been collaborating on, such as the pumps from Sulzer Pumps, and subsea systems and advanced permanent magnet motor technology from FMC.
Over the last several years Sulzer and FMC have developed, built and qualified a new, high-speed helico-axial multiphase subsea boosting unit based on Sulzer’s field-proven topside pump designs. To prove the technology, a full-scale, complete pump/motor unit has been built, fully submerged and successfully tested at Sulzer’s engineered test pool in Leeds, UK.
