Careful user evaluation is required to select reliable vertical lineshaft pumps for North Sea Offshore water winning services. These services include fire protection, process cooling, general platform washdown, ballast, and injection booster. Mechanical, hydraulic, material, driver, and system factors must all be evaluated. Metallurgical options are presented which consider strength, corrosion resistance, marine fouling resistance, and the economic trade-off study involving initial cost and service life. The paper will present the user with the required data to select vertical line-shaft turbines that will provide dependable service in the hostile North Sea environment. Although the data are primarily directed toward water winning services, there are many areas applicable to other vertical pump services.
