Developments in Selection of Vertical Pumps

Latest Developments in Selection of Vertical Progressing Cavity Pumps for Oil & Gas

Vertical progressing cavity pumps play a central role in the oil and gas industry. They are particularly useful in confined spaces and with media with low NPSHa, and are often installed directly in tanks.

Since vertical progressing cavity pumps cannot be bolted firmly to the floor, special precautions must be taken during design and engineering to avoid placing excessive loads on the building structure and to comply with API vibration limits. Because pump sizes and immersion depths must be adapted to local conditions, it is not possible to create predefined standards. However, incorrect designs are associated with high costs and corresponding downtime. When designing the pump, there are interactions among different design requirements that cannot be fully assessed, even with extensive experience. This either leads to oversized pumps with corresponding commercial disadvantages for the operator or carries the risk of exceeding vibration limits and overloading mechanical components.

In the webinar with Ulrich Eibl, Director of Global Business Field Oil & Gas at NETZSCH, you will learn about the method NETZSCH has developed to simplify the dimensioning process, dimension the pump exactly to the requirements and ensure safe operation.
