Useful Mechanism Of A Water Injection Pump For Commercial Applications

In the natural oil industry, crude oil needs to be extracted out from the salty or dirty water that ejects out from the soil. The oil is separated from this water with the help of a water injection pump, which disposes the water back into the soil. This pumping system is designed to sustain maximum use in the rough external weather conditions while functioning continuously in oil mines. It is made of suitable materials that ensure better durability and easy maintenance, in spite of this heavy workload.

Vital features associated with a water injection pump

This pumping system for injecting water can operate continuously for 24 x 7 hours and it is designed to cover millions of operating hours. Thus, this pump can operate for many years without requiring frequent servicing or tough maintenance. This pump is dependable for working without any obstruction at the sites.

This high-pressure pump is driven by an electrical motor or a turbine fitted with a gas or diesel driven engine. A high-speed shaft is designed to operate at very high-speed limit, to provide maximum balanced power for pumping operations. The rotating impeller can be switched immediately for various functions of the pump. Hence, sufficient flexibility is available in switching to different reservoir conditions, according to the demand of the pumping job.

Usually, duplex and super duplex varieties of stainless steel can be used for making the pump body, which is resistant to corrosion caused due to water or other liquids. These pumps can be cleaned easily and function very smoothly, in accordance with other parts of the pumping system. Moreover, it is easy to detach the impeller and mechanical seal for replacement in the serial or rotational configuration of this pump.

The attached suction and discharge pipes are chosen according to the required volumes of operation done through this pump. There are flanged sections attached to a riser pipe and the hydraulic pipes are inter-connected inside this riser pipe for the smooth transmission of oil, which saves space and enables the simplified underground installation of the pump at a cheaper cost.

This type of water injection pump is a compact structure, which is easily portable due to its lightweight. However, its functioning high power is proportional to its body weight, for which the model of this pump should be chosen according to the supposed volume of the pumping work. Thus, this pump can be safely deployed for operation in all sites, irrespective of the environment prevailing there.
