Abstract
An apparatus for boosting the pressure of flowing fluids includes jet pumps (), each having a low pressure (LP) inlet for LP fluid, a high pressure (HP) inlet for HP liquid and a medium pressure (MP) outlet for MP fluid. A fluid separator device () receives the MP fluid from the outlets of the jet pumps, and includes a gas outlet line () for a separated gas phase and a liquid outlet () for separated liquid phase. A liquid return line () returns at least some of the separated liquid phase to the HP inlets of the jet pumps, and a mechanical pump () is connected into the liquid return line for boosting the pressure of the liquid delivered to the HP inlets of the jet pumps. A flow control system () is provided for controlling the flow of fluids through the respective jet pumps ().
