APSB Explosion Proof Motor Oilfield Centrifugal Pumps Drilling Fluid

How centrifugal pump works

Application of classical mechanics theory, it is assumed viscosity of the liquid is equal to 0, and the energy is transferred from the impeller to the process stream in line with no loss of energy, which means that all of the separate streams is uniform (through the physical approximation can be made easier solid-state means than hydraulic.

General Description: Like most pumps, centrifugal pumps usually rotational energy (typically from the electric motor) is converted into movement energy of the fluid. Part of the energy goes into the kinetic energy of the fluid. Fluid axially through the perforations into the housing, the impeller blades are captured and rotated radially outwardly and tangentially until all fluid entering the housing through the peripheral portion of the impeller portion of the diffuser. Simultaneously obtaining the fluid velocity and pressure through the impeller. Annular diffuser portion of the housing (or volute) reduction of the flow rate and further increase the pressure. Drilling fluid solids control system, as a centrifugal pump. The main drilling fluid pumped into the hydrocyclone desander, in addition to the mud force cyclone. They can also be combined together with the mud bucket mixer or mud mixed slurry injection pump. Pump power as a conversion tool.

Centrifugal pump types in solids control

Drilling fluid solids control requests many centrifugal pumps to be fit on mud tanks. According to function, we call centrifugal pumps sand pumps, submersible slurry pumps, shear pumps, charging pumps, etc. They are defined for their different functions, but their working principle is the same

Usually, in drilling fluid solids control there are horizontal centrifugal pumps and vertical centrifugal pumps. The difference is the motor installation direction and pump feed inlet position.

To select either of the installation ways we need to consider the actual operation condition and general space. Presently, except for the installation way, there are different types of pumps on the seal. The mechanically sealed pump is more popular since the stable performance and reliable quality

What Centrifugal Pump Work For?

Trip Pump: The trip pump will sit at the trip tank to transfer mud from the trip tank into a drill hole directly in special conditions. The pump is normally driven by an 11 or 15kw electrical motor with a 4×3 size pump. The mudflow 200 to 250GPM is enough.

Desander & desilter feeding pump: It is normally an 8×6 size pump driven by 55kw motor for 1000GPM mudflow for oil and gas drilling, but a 6×5 or 5×4 size pump with the smaller electrical motor will be used for smaller mudflow capacity for oil & gas drilling, coal bed methane drilling, horizontal directional drilling or water well drilling.

Water pump: The water pump will set on a water tank with a water line supply to the solids control mud tank. A diesel pump may work as a standby in case of fire.

Mixing Pump: The mixing pump normally 8×6 size driven by a 55kw electrical motor to supply mud to the mixing hopper for new mud mixing application.

Charge Pump: 1 or 2 set charge pump will sit beside the mud pump for charging application.

Centrifugal pump is well used in the drilling mud process system because it’s high efficiency, easy maintenance, and cost-effective.
