FLUID PUMPS

High quality industrial fluid pump units

FLUID PUMP UNITS

High performance industrial fluid pumps

Industrial fluid pumps are used extensively in the oil & gas and petrochemical industries to support all operations. Transferring fluids from one point to another they pump everything from seawater and often corrosive chemicals to crude oil and drilling muds.

Our fluid pump units cater for a broad spectrum of flow rates to meet customer requirements and provide pump pressures up to 10,000 PSI as standard. Due to the harsh operating conditions experienced in offshore applications, our triplex, centrifugal and multistage pumps are built to operate efficiently in environments ranging from extreme cold (-40°C) to extreme heat (50°C).

Flexible to operational needs, our portable fluid pump units can be open, enclosed, soundproof, trailer-mounted or split skid mounted packaged.

We have experience of manufacturing both diesel-driven and electric-driven industrial pumps.

Our pumps are carefully designed to meet operational needs. This includes selecting an engine of sufficient horsepower to provide the required pump pressure and flow rate, installing safety systems for ATEX environments such as engine shutdowns and flame arrestors, and utilising components suitable for the fluid type (typically cast steel for pumping seawater and Inconel, a nickel-chromium superalloy for pumping corrosive fluids).

As with all high-pressure equipment, safety is at the forefront of our design incorporating insert safety valves, touchscreen monitoring, and shutdown systems.

Designed to meet customer needs

Our experienced design-team take time to understand your precise requirements. From flow rates and pump pressures, to footprint and fluid type, compliance requirements and operational needs, we will support you with one of our standard designs or a bespoke product.

Options

Available as standard or bespoke formats, our fluid pump units can be built to any specification including:

Rig Safe
Safe Area
Zone I & II
ATEX

UKCA

TRIPLEX PUMPS

Triplex pumps are the most common pump configuration used in both drilling and well service operations.

Delivering high pressure and various flow rates (constant or variable), they are typically used as mud pumps to circulate drilling fluid (or mud) throughout drilling operations or higher viscosity slurries.

Coupling high performance triplex pumps with the latest fuel-efficient engines, our triplex pump units ensure minimal downtime and optimal operation. Safety features as standard include relief valves and shutdown systems to prevent over-pressuring of the pump and piping system.

Ease of ongoing maintenance is factored into our design process, however, due to moving parts in triplex pumps, they do require more frequent maintenance than centrifugal pumps. We are able to support all pump maintenance requirements as well as replacement parts, wherever your pump is operating in the world.

DUAL LIFT TRIPLEX PUMPS

Prior Power Solutions specialises in dual lift triplex pumps.

These pumps, constructed on two skids, feature twist locks, joining the two skids together to DNV 2.7-1 standards to allow a single lift. This allows the units to remain coupled via the prop shaft for transportation.

This innovative design provides two lightweight units for easier transport and movement, yet the units can be quickly and easily coupled for a complete working unit. The units can be transported as a single unit for time saving where weight not is an issue. The unit also features a touch screen ExSCS safety system.

CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS

Simple in design, centrifugal pumps are the most common type of industrial pump.

Using centrifugal force through the rotation of the pump impellor, fluid is drawn into the pump intake and is forced through the discharge section through centrifugal force.

Centrifugal pumps provide low pressure, high flow rates and are energy efficient compared with other pumping systems.

Provided as self-contained units capable of pumping various fluids, our single stage centrifugal pump units use heavy-duty, reliable pumps which require minimal maintenance and spare parts inventory and efficient, dependable diesel or electric engines for power.

Open frame or soundproofed (acoustic) designs available.

Designed to and built to customers’ exact operational requirements our centrifugal pumps can integrate fully with existing systems.

MULTISTAGE PUMPS

With multistage pumps, fluid flows through two or more impellers fitted in series. Fluid pressure increases as flow moves from one impeller to the next resulting in much higher pressure capabilities than single stage centrifugal pumps.

Each impellor in a multistage pump operates within smaller tolerances and therefore close to its greatest hydraulic efficiency. This means that multistage centrifugal pumps can achieve high performance with smaller engine and less fuel.

Multistage pumps are available in horizontal or vertical arrangements to allow for space-saving on the unit and typically used for lower viscosity fluids.

Contact us for any multi-stage pumps to incorporate your precise flow and pressure requirements and any other specifications.

CHEMICAL INJECTION PUMPS

Chemical dosing or injection pumps, typically methanol injection pumps for the offshore oil and gas industry, are self-contained, high pressure units which can be designed and manufactured to ATEX standards for use in Zone I or Zone II hazardous areas.

We design and manufacture bespoke chemical dosing pumps to cater for all chemicals, pressures and flow rates working to additional customer specifications such as footprint and compliance requirements.
