Method, system and axial multistage expander including a casing and a plurality of stages. A stage includes a stator part connected to the casing and having plural statoric airfoils, and a rotor part configured to rotate relative to the stator part and having plural rotoric airfoils. The axial multistage expander also includes a support mechanism connected to the casing and configured to rotatably support the rotor part. Rotoric airfoils of at least one stage of the plurality of stages are configured to rotate with a speed different from rotoric airfoils of the other stages. The stator part, the rotor part and the support mechanism of the plurality of stages are provided inside the casing.

Geared axial multistage expander device, system and method

Systems and methods include using a subsea machine for separating a mixture received from a seabed well. The subsea machine includes: a chamber configured to receive and separate by gravity the mixture received from the seabed well. The chamber includes: a housing configured to contain the mixture received from the undersea well during separation, and a piston provided inside the housing and separating the housing into a top section and a bottom section. The piston is configured to move in a first direction along an axis to create more space in the top section for receiving the mixture from the seabed well and to move in a second opposite direction along the axis for removing the mixture from the chamber after separation has occurred.
