Heavy crude, entrained gas and abrasive sand, without losing prime.
Upstream, midstream and refining all end up asking a pump to move something with sand, gas or tar in it. A centrifugal loses prime on the gas and wears out on the sand.
What we are asked to move
- Heavy and extra heavy crude
- Produced water with sand
- Drilling mud and cuttings
- Tank bottoms and sludge
- Emulsions and slop oil
Why a disc pump survives it
- Handles entrained gas without vapour locking
- Abrasive sand passes without chewing an impeller
- Viscosity works in the pump's favour rather than against it
- High suction lift from tanks and pits
