North Rankin B gas processing platform. Located 135 km off the north-west coast of Western Australia. Operated by Woodside Energy Ltd.. During the early engineering phase a decision was made to change the pump set from a 3 × 60% to a 2 × 100% to save on space and weight on the platform: 1. For unknown reasons a diesel engine with an undersized starter system was purchased for the pump string. 2. When the equipment inertias were calculated it was determined that the diesel engine starter might not be able to start the whole string. 3. Therefore it was decided to use a centrifugal clutch so the engine could be started without being connected to the pump. Torsional analysis during procurement of firewater pump package did not identify the shaft as being susceptible to failure.
