Advantage and features of sand pump

Centrifugal pump is one of the most widely used pumps in drilling mud system. An oilfield solids control system needs many centrifugal pumps to sit on mud tanks. The pumps are generally used to transfer drilling mud to make it circulate through tank system. According to mud feeding and drilling flow locations we name the centrifugal pump as feeding pump for desander / desilter or mud cleaner, mixing pump for jet mud mixer, trip pump for trip tank and supercharging pump for rig mud pump.

The advantages of centrifugal pump
1.   Tungsten carbide mechanical seal, good effect, without regular maintenance.
2.   The design of the impeller reduces axial thrust load. Easy to operate, repair and maintain.
3.   All equipment surface using sand blasting treatment
4.   Use thicker pump shell, passage shape is more reasonable, the turbulence is reduced to the minimum than conventional ones.
5.   All bolts, nuts, flat washers, cotter pin galvanization processing, but do not contain chromium plating, nickel plating, pin do antiseptic treatment.

Pump maintenance schedule
Routine maintenance (Can be made during pump operation)
Perform the following tasks whenever you perform routine maintenance
1.   Clean bearing bracket from any oil if found.
2.   Check oil drain plug.
3.   Lubricate the bearings.
4.   Inspect suction and discharge flanges for any leak.
5.   Inspect pump casing for any unusual damage signs.
6.   Inspect the seal.
7.   If the pump is offline check the coupling and its shims for any damage.
8.   Make sure that the coupling guard well tightened to pump base plate.
9.   Check that motor alignment bolts are all in place.
