Intensifier overcomes deep-sea pressures

Engineered Pressure Systems (EPSI) has recently received an order to manufacturer a hydraulically powered intensifier to pump seawater 3000m below sea level.

Engineered Pressure Systems (EPSI) has recently received an order to manufacturer a hydraulically powered intensifier to pump seawater 3000m below sea level.

EPSI developed the novel intensifier to operate at discharge pressures of 200MPa and at an environment pressure of up to 30MPa.

EPSI's hydraulically powered intensifier was specifically designed to withstand both external and internal pressure to eliminate intrusion of seawater.

All components are manufactured with seawater-resistant materials to withstand the harsh weathering effects of elements like saltwater and mud.

The intensifier is powered by hydraulic oil and uses no electrical components.

Special considerations are given to the ease and cost of maintenance after service in the hostile environment of the seabed.

EPSI's intensifier is lightweight, and can be used in any orientation.

The intensifier is also suitable for any environment which prohibits the use of electricity.
