Drilling Fluid Oilfield Solids Control Centrifugal Pump

Oilfield Solids Control Centrifugal Pump In Drilling Fluid Solids Control

Oilfield solids control centrifugal pump summary

Common centrifugal pump applications including water, sewage, petroleum and petrochemical pumping. The reverse function of the centrifugal pump is a fluid turbine converting potential energy of water pressure into mechanical rotational energy.

Centrifugal pumps are a sub-class of dynamic axisymmetric work-absorbing turbomachinery. Centrifugal pumps are used to transport fluids by the conversion of rotational kinetic energy to the hydrodynamic energy of the fluid flow. The rotational energy typically comes from an engine or electric motor. The fluid enters the pump impeller along or near to the rotating axis and is accelerated by the impeller, flowing radially outward into a diffuser or volute chamber (casing), from where it exits

Such pumps are popular with most users in drilling fluid process since its great function and easy operation features.

Techinical parameters for your reference. And some configuration is customizable. 

Oilfield solids control centrifugal pump functions

Centrifugal pump is a power supply of drilling mud flow for many pieces of equipment. They transfer drilling mud from tank to equipment or from tank to tank. The pumps are almost driven by a motor. The mechanically sealed pump provides longer service life and stable performance. We select pumps according to the whole mud system flow rate, and/or the treating capacity of the equipment. Bulk, basically they are all decided by mud system flow rate or drilling depth. Different pumps holding different input and output ports. For example, APSB6X5 means 5'' output and 6'' inlet. Furthermore, the flow rate of the pump performs various under different motor power. Such as 100HP motor and 75HP motor both can be fit on APS8X6 pump, but the flow rate between them is different. 

Moreover, AIPU APSB Series pumps are interchangeable with a famous brand pump. From housing to the shaft, from seal to sleeve. You just need to tell us the part number you'll get the completely interchangeable items

How to select oilfield solids control centrifugal pump

As we said just now, according to mud system flow rate or the equipment capacity. Pumps will be specified with a certain flow rate tested by water when they were finished in the factory. When the mixing hopper requests 140m³/h compounding capacity we can select pump holding capacity 160-170m³/h. As we know pump flow rate is related to many factors, including head/lift, pressure, motor power. So before your confirmation on a pump, please inquire professional person for proper use

How many sets of oilfeild solids control centrifugal pump do we need for a complete mud system?

One set of the trip pump, one set desander pump, one set desilter pump, two sets of mixing pump, two sets of charging pump, one shearing pump. So we suggest 8 sets of pumps for the normal system. However, some systems designed with vacuum degasser performed under pump feeding. Then another pump is necessary, too. Please tell us your demand or condition, we'll give you professional suggestions
