Optimal Parameters of a Centrifugal Pump for Heavy End Recovery

An application textbook of response surface methodology (RSM) which established optimal parameters of a radial split axial pull-out barrel casing multistage centrifugal pump of BB5 class used for heavy end recovery in a natural gas to liquid plant. Determination of optimal operational parameters of this pump reduces its life-cycle-cost and makes its application for heavy end recovery more economical thereby reducing production cost in the oil and sector.
