Industrial Pumps for Oil and Gas Industry





Pumps are essential components inside an oil drilling rig. They are designed to speed up the transference of fluid from one location to another. Without Industrial Pumps, refineries will not be able to operate, as oil displacement is necessary for an oil rig’s entire operation. Centrifugal pumps are one of the most common types of Industrial Pumps which are used in oil and gas downstream operations. They contain one or more impellers which move fluid by rotation and draw fluid into the suction end of the pump. Then applying the centrifugal force, fluid is forced out of the discharge end. Due to this working principle of centrifugal pumps they are preferred for processes which handle high flow rates and low viscosity liquids. As per the Industrial Pumps manufacturers, it is one of the widely used industrial pumps for a variety of applications. The centrifugal pumps can also handle dirty liquids as long as they do not contain vapors, air, or heavy amount of solids.

Centrifugal Pump

These positive displacement pumps are preferred option in the upstream oil and gas industry as part of tri phase or multi phase pumping application. Centrifugal pumps are beneficial for a wide variety of applications with other types such as electric submersible pumps, that is used as water and oil separator in which water can be re-injected into a reservoir without lifting it to the ground surface. They can even transport a remarkable amount of low viscosity liquids in a short span of time and can pump several hundred gallons of liquid per minute if the product is compatible.

  1. Thanks for sharing information about industrial pumps in oil and gas industry. And how positive displacement pumps are mostly preferred in the upstream oil and gas industry and multi-phase pumping applications.
