Oil Gas Drilling Fluids Centrifugal Trip Pump For Solids Control System

Oil And Gas Drilling Fluids Centrifugal Trip Pump For Solids Control System

Definition and general information of centrifugal trip pump

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. They are a sub-class of dynamic axisymmetric work-absorbing turbomachinery.[1] 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 which it exits.

Oilfield Centrifugal Pump Widely Used In Drilling Fluid Solids Control. Centrifugal pump is also referred to sand pump in China. Centrifugal pump are widely used in oilfield drilling equipment and drilling mud equipment like shale shakers, desanders desilters etc.

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 as 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 pump and vertical centrifugal pump. The difference is motor installation direction and pump feed inlet position.

To select either of installation way we need to consider the actual operation condition and general space. Presently, except installation way, there are different types pump on the seal. Mechanical sealed pump are more popular since the stable performance and reliable quality
We may face many different problem during pump operation. Please contact us for further information or support. We Aipu solids control will do come to you with optimal solutions

What centrifugal pump work for?

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

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

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

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

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

Centrifugal pump is well used in drilling mud process system because it’s high efficiency, easy maintenance and cost effective. AIPU Solids build a complete line for drilling mud process system as well as all sizes centrifugal pump. Please contact us freely for inquiry or technical support.

How to choose centrifugal pump

Mudflow: According to whole mud system flow rate or mud pump flow.
Type: Vertical type or horizontal type.
Motor: 50Hz or 60Hz, motor speed.
Application: Mixing pump or feed pump
