Existing pipeline routing, pressure ratings, and hydraulic performance were insufficient for the upgraded duty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The system needed to handle wide variations in solids concentration (500\u2013780 gpl), an increased PSD (d50 = 369 \u03bcm), and meet a target flow of 915 m\u00b3\/hr. Risks included inadequate deadhead pressure capacity in the existing North Stream polysteel pipework, velocities approaching settling limits, and the need to consolidate multiple pump stations into a single high\u2010pressure pumping facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Agilitus performed a comprehensive optioneering and hydraulic analysis using Fathom with the Settling Slurry Module and 4\u2010component slurry model. The methodology incorporated PSD (particle size distribution)\u2010driven settling behavior, Durand\u2010based velocity correlations, ANSI\/HI slurry pump limits, and detailed pump derating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Multiple system configurations were evaluated, including field booster stations and a consolidated single\u2010station design. The final configuration utilized 8 Warman 10\/8 AH\/AHPP pumps arranged in four series stages with duty\/standby redundancy, supported by upgraded flushing pumps and new DN300 XXS carbon\u2010steel lined slurry pipelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The calculation report validated velocity envelopes, deadhead pressures, safe operating windows, and NPSH margins across DAR, RSA1S, and North discharge paths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The combined Fathom optioneering and hydraulic calculation confirmed that the selected system configuration meets all flow, pressure, and settling\u2010velocity requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pump staging was optimized to deliver 950 m\u00b3\/hr at 500 gpl and 870 m\u00b3\/hr at 780 gpl, with sufficient head developed across all four stages. The redesigned system ensures velocities exceed settling thresholds (\u22653.7 m\/s) while maintaining acceptable wear rates. New CL300 pipe specifications and pressure\u2010relief strategies\u2014VSD\u2010based pressure control and burst\u2010disc redundancy\u2014ensure compliance with deadhead requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The design consolidates all pumps at the sand plant, reduces civil and operational complexity, and provides an accurate tender\u2010level package supporting contractor pricing and detailed engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/flumen.clients.cake.fm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/CS_Fathom_Agilitus_26_03.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read the article<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Challenge The RSA23 Corridor Reclaim Project required a full redesign of the sand transfer system to support new discharge locations (DAR and RSA1S) and accommodate a future dry storage area.
