In today’s rapidly evolving industrial landscape, reliable and efficient flow control solutions are essential for meeting global operational challenges. Trillium Flow Technologies tackles these needs across the water, mining, energy, and oil and gas sectors by combining cutting-edge technology with deep industry expertise.
Oil & gas
Trillium Flow Technologies helps oil and gas operators address rising energy costs while advancing sustainable operations. One recent project illustrates this capability, where Trillium supplied BB5 pump units for a major onshore oil facility expansion. The company constructed API 610-compliant, double-casing, radially split, multistage between-bearing pumps in superduplex stainless steel. Operating at capacities exceeding 1,000 m³/h and 1,700 m with 8 MW motors, these pumps inject aquifer water into offshore wells. They were manufactured at Trillium’s Nova Milanese factory in Italy, which maintains rigorous quality standards through comprehensive testing procedures. Since its establishment in 2016, this purpose-built site has demonstrated the company’s commitment to engineering excellence.

Trillium applies the same engineering expertise to complex pipeline applications, including the recent development of pumps managing 5,000 km of pipeline infrastructure. The main oil line BB1 pumps had to maximize uptime and efficiency while curbing energy consumption given their remote location and power exceeding 10 MW. Trillium also engineered a solution that maximized flexibility while minimizing CAPEX to handle different flow conditions. The VS7 booster pumps featured a remote monitoring device to check insulation performance and guarantee reliability across a temperature range of -60°C to +40°C. Additionally, Trillium offered training on maintenance to ensure optimal long-term operation.
Trillium’s Roto-Jet pitot tube technology is another example of its engineering capabilities. Pioneering the technology in the 1950s to enhance efficiency for low-flow, high-head applications, the company recently replaced conventional OH6 pump units installed at a refinery, which experienced significant vibration and failure issues, with Roto-Jet pitot tube pumps, reducing operating costs while improving reliability.
Trillium supports customers throughout the oil and gas value chain with a comprehensive portfolio of pumps, valves, and services, solidifying its role as a key partner in advancing operational efficiency and sustainability.
