Hydraulic Submersible Pumps
Designed for applications where the suction lift exceeds 25 feet, these units use two separate pieces of equipment to eliminate the suction head entirely. The first is a Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU) that generates the power via a diesel engine and a hydraulic motor and transfers this power to the second piece, the Hydraulic Submersible Pump Head (HST). The Submersible Pump Head is connected to the HPU with high pressure hydraulic lines and is lowered into the location from which the liquid or slurry is pumped. This setup eliminates all of the suction head and allows for depths of up to 240 feet.
These pumps are also able to handle thicker sludges and slurries because it eliminates the suction lift. These are commonly used with vortex pump heads to pump sludges better than any other pump we have. The major downside is these are higher maintenance than our typical dry prime pumps.
Features:
- We have 6 GPM, 32 GPM and 96 GPM Hydraulic Powerpacks with allow us to run 3”, 4”, 6”, 8” and 12” Submersible pump heads to meet your jobsite requirements.
- Can Handle Solids from 3 to 4.25 inches
- Auto-Start Floats to Start Pump when Needed and Stop Pump when Not needed
- Level Transducers to More Accurately Maintain the Fluid Level
- Oilfield Tough Winglet Quick Disconnects on Delivery and Return Hoses to ensure they will not come apart at the connections.
- Biodegradable Lubricants to be environmentally sensitive in the event of a hose or pump head blow out.
- When compared to an electric submersible it is a smaller, lighter footprint in the hole. And also does not require an electrician to hookup to power.
In the case of hydraulic submersibles there are two pieces of equipment, this means that there are two pieces of equipment that require inspection. We will inspect both pieces separately in our 4 step inspection process to make sure that both pieces are in the best condition possible for every customer.
