WEG announced its support for Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC)’s 300km crude oil pipeline project, along with pumping and booster stations in the UAE capital to maintain flow efficiency. The project is being set up at an investment of US $3bn and will carry around 1.5m barrels of crude oil per day.
The company aims to deliver the drive packages by September; its scope of work involves supply of integrated drive package, including flameproof electric motors, variable speed drives (VSDs) and transformers to help maximise the efficiency, reliability and safety of the horizontal centrifugal pumps underpinning the infrastructure.
According to the group, 20 medium-voltage flameproof motors will be core for this project. These motors include nine W22Xdb 3.3kV, 50Hz units in frame sizes 500-560, with power rating between 850kW and 990kW, and eleven 900-frame 6.6kV M-Line motors with power rating between 6,710kW and 6,980kW. Other benefits include high energy efficiency and customisable configurations, with multiple mounting options and terminal box designs, ideal for applications demanding flexible installation like oil pipelines, it stated.
Designed to withstand the harsh environmental conditions of the Arabian desert, these motors can handle extreme temperatures of up to 55-degrees Celsius and are certified IP55 against dust and water. WEG’s solutions will drive multiple horizontal centrifugal pumps designed for heavy-duty industrial applications. The W22Xdb flameproof motors prioritise safety and efficiency in hazardous environments, adhering to global standards like Atex and IECEx. These motors boast robust construction using cast iron or welded steel frames, complemented by advanced cooling options and thermal and vibration monitoring for optimal reliability.
“This $3bn billion infrastructure project will boost the UAE’s energy export and security, transporting crude oil from Jebel Dhanna in Abu Dhabi to the Fujairah oil terminal on the eastern coast,” said a company spokesman.
Kiran Kumar, the HVS Development Sales Manager for HVS Motors & Drives said, “The fact the OEM supplying the centrifugal pumps for this critical pipeline project turned to us is a testament to WEG’s reputation for highly reliable customised drive solutions designed to minimise downtime and costs. Our integrated solution team worked closely with all stakeholders to meet the stringent requirements of this demanding application, including flame and arc resistance. Our ability to design an integrated drive package promptly was instrumental in enabling us to secure this important $22mn project,” he added.
The WEG M-Line (Master Line) comprises versatile and customisable three-phase induction motors designed for the demanding industrial applications. The motor’s optimal design and materials minimise losses while maximising efficiency. In addition, the motor’s structur provides low vibration levels, enhancing durability and reliability.
