The
New TAPS
A closer look at Strategic Reconfiguration
At the core of Alyeska’s Strategic Reconfiguration project are
the new electrically driven pumps being installed at Pump
Stations 1, 3, 4 and 9. These stations will have three pump
modules, each comprising an electric motor, a crude oil pump,
a lubrication oil skid that supplies lube oil to the crude
pump and motor and a sump tank to collect potential oil
leakage.
