    This document compares hydraulic and electric cargo pump systems for FPSOs and FSOs. An electric deepwell pump system provides savings of $800,000 due to removing the need for a hydraulic power unit and associated systems. It has a higher total system efficiency of 0.72 compared to 0.53 for hydraulic submerged pumps. Maintenance costs are also lower over the lifetime for electric pumps. Electric pumps have lower noise and vibration levels and provide better reliability, value for money, and safety than hydraulic pumps.

    Conclusion
    Electric driven deepwell pumps is preferable because
    Lower system complexity
    Electric drives gives higher effeciency
    Lower potential failure modes
    No failure mode leading to system shut-downs
    Less maintenance
    Lower operating and downtime costs
    Lower installation cost
    Lowest Whole Life Cost/Life Cycle Cost
    Lower energy consumption
    Lower exhaust gas pollution's (CO,CO2,NOX)
    Low heat & noise radiation
    Safe & easy maintenance on main deck.
    No hot hydraulic oil
