Progressive Cavity Pumps for Fracking Chemical & Additive Feed

Controlled positive-displacement pumping for polymers, friction reducers and other viscous or shear-sensitive additives used in hydraulic-fracturing fluid systems.

Frac Fluid Systems

Controlled additive delivery under changing operating conditions

Hydraulic-fracturing operations depend on accurate preparation and delivery of fluid additives. Progressive cavity pumps can provide repeatable flow over a useful speed range and are particularly relevant where an additive is viscous, shear-sensitive or difficult to handle with conventional centrifugal equipment.

PolymersControlled low-shear transfer and feed
Friction reducersRepeatable additive delivery
Viscous chemicalsPositive-displacement handling
Variable speedFeed-rate adjustment with VFD control
Selection Framework

Match displacement and speed to the feed range

Selection should account for minimum and maximum feed rate, pressure, viscosity, temperature, chemical compatibility and required turndown. For shear-sensitive polymers, operating speed and internal handling are important process considerations in addition to hydraulic capacity.

Feed rangeMinimum through maximum rate
PressureInjection and system resistance
ViscosityAt actual operating temperature
CompatibilityRotor, stator and seal materials
ControlVFD, automation and calibration
ShearProduct sensitivity where applicable
