Hayward Tyler successfully deliver the world's largest Subsea Motors

 

Hayward Tyler Ltd, a leading manufacturer of pumps and motors for the power and oil and gas industries, has announced that it has now delivered three of the largest subsea motors ever built. The 2500 kW subsea motors were ordered by Aker Kvaerner Subsea, a leading provider of surface and subsea solutions for the oil and gas industry, to drive their seawater injection pumps on the StatoilHydro Tyrihans project in the Norwegian Sea. The motors have been developed in close cooperation with Aker Solutions.

The qualified Hayward Tyler design for the 2500 kW variable speed, super synchronous motor will operate at speeds ranging from 2500 to 4000 rpm.

The subsea motors will have increased insulation (11 kV) to accommodate the electrical challenges faced by the world’s largest subsea motor and longest step out (31,4 km) from the Kristin platform.

Mark Wood, Group Sales and Marketing Director, Hayward Tyler stated "We are proud to have built and delivered these extraordinary motors and to be involved in such an important project. Building the motors is a significant achievement for Hayward Tyler in terms of technical challenges and engineering capabilities and we look forward to the new challenges that lie ahead to further develop our motor technology”.

HT wins British Award

Hayward Tyler Ltd, a leading manufacturer of pumps and motors for the power and oil and gas industries, has won a British Business Award 2008 for its work in China.

The awards ceremony took place last week in Beijing, China. Around 400 guests gathered at the Westin Chaoyang, including HRH The Duke of York. Hayward Tyler won the 'Innovative Product or Service' category against competition from other finalists that included Dyson, Standard Chartered and Penguin.

Led by the British Chamber of Commerce in China, the British Business Awards highlights the strong links between China and the UK and rewards innovation, enterprise and endeavour in the fields of business, education and corporate social responsibility. The British Chamber of Commerce in China is an independent, not-for-profit membership-based organisation with more than 2,000 members nationally that provides connectivity for British Business in China.

Judging was a rigorous process that included five stages: written applications; shortlisting by a panel of five judges; online voting; interviews of the top five finalists by a judging panel; then ratification of judging panel results by a separate panel of advisors.

For the 'Innovative Product or Service' category, judging criteria included innovation, adaptability to the Chinese market, measurable results and the overall contribution the product or service has made to China as a country and its people. Hayward Tyler first developed the Glandless Pump Motor in the early 1940
