6. Integrated Engineering Approach
Motor Design –Operating Parameters
The load features
• Quadratic load Vs. speed are in
general required for the VSDS
design.
• Speed range must be well defined
from the beginning – critical speeds
must be avoided – maximum
operating speed and the over-speed
(120%) shall be mechanically verified
– lower speed shall be compatible
with motor cooling and bearings
design.
• In case of an operational speed
margin (example 110% speed),
constant power will be considered
according to the rated power of the
VSDS. Otherwise, with quadratic
torque load, the VSDS should be
oversized and rated accordingly
(example 133% power).
• Compressor load can be highly
influenced by the process (gas
pressures/temperatures), so proper
margins must be considered.

Phase 2 – Detailed Design & Construction
Detailed Design
• Base plates. Motor was designed with a triple base plate
and positioning bolts. This reduces service intervention
time for eventual replacement from 7 to 2 days.
• During this phase our Engineering team worked with the
End User and Engineering firm define redundancies in the
pressurization system and identify materials
(soundproofing, seals, bolts, etc…) to reduce risk of failure,
assisting in cost-benefit analysis to optimize CAPEX
• They also worked with the OEM to conduct shaft-line
analyses and optimize coupling to improve robustness of
the train
Project management
NIDEC ASI designated 2 full time Project
Managers to supervise the project. By
working closely with the Main contractor
and our internal Lean Manufacturing team
they were able to optimize dellivery
schedule to help recover delays from other
areas of the project (NIDEC ASI increased
delivery from 1 machine to 2 machines per
month).

In the desert (Ambient temperature +54°C) and
in the maritime environment, structural integrity is
vulnerable to wind blown sand and to saline of the
sea, therefore the equipment had to be sealed
against the elements and positioned in areas

35. Oil Sands Solutions
SHOWCASE – Canada, Suncor Oil Sands
Suncor produces bitumen in the Canadian oil
sands, which it expects to account for 90% of its
total crude oil production.
Furthermore, Suncor has built the necessary
refining capacity to convert the tar sands'
synthetic oil into refined gasoline and oil
products.This process allows the company to
capture the profits of the full hydrocarbon supply
chain.
Suncor has refining capacity of 443,000 barrels of
oil equivalent per day (boe/day), with roughly half
of that capable of running on oil sand feeds.
By studying the solution with the customer and
the and existing technology (ChevronPhillips),
NIDEC ASI was able to design a motor for direct
coupling to the Slurry pump demonstrating a net
energy savings of 3- 5 % with respect to the use
of a traditional 4 pole motor + gear box.

37. Pipelaying
SHOWCASE – Micoperi 7000 (now Saipem 7000)
The Micomeri 7000 was conceived in the mid 1980s
as a multipurpose offshore oil platform installation
vessel that would be able to install very large oil
production platform decks (known as integrated
decks) as well as the decks' supporting structures
(known as jackets) using its two very large fully
revolving cranes.
It would also be able to support the offshore
completion of the platform by providing hotel and
workshop facilities for large construction crews.
Saturation Diving facilities would support subsea
connection work. The vessel's size and semisubmersible form would allow it to operate in worse
weather conditions than smaller and conventionally
shaped vessels.
In the oil & gas extraction process the needs evolve as enviromental conditions change. The
machines installed on Micoperi were revamped for Saipem 7000. This action, thanks to Nidec
ASI equipment, allowed the owner to reach new depths in high sea, strengthening the
productivity of the pipe laying platform.
