PUMP FRAME

摘要

The invention relates to a riser system for transporting slurry from a sea bed (4). The riser system comprising a vertical riser pipe (10) and at least one pump (30) provided along the riser pipe (10). The riser pipe (10) comprises a pipe input opening (12). The riser system comprises a frame (40) to which the pump (30) is mounted. The frame (40) comprising a first connection member (41) at a predetermined distance from a pump output opening (32). The riser system comprising a second connection member (15) provided along the riser pipe (10) at the predetermined distance above the pipe input opening (12). The first and second connection member (41, 15) being rotatably connectable allowing the frame (40) to rotate under the influence of gravity to a hanging position in which the pump output opening (32) connects to the pipe input opening (12).
