Progressive Cavity Pumps for Drilling Mud & Bentonite
Rugged positive-displacement pumping for viscous drilling mud, bentonite slurry and solids-bearing drilling fluids.
Positive displacement for viscous solids-bearing mud
Drilling mud and bentonite systems can vary in viscosity, density and solids loading throughout the job. Progressive cavity pumps can provide controlled transfer and circulation when pump displacement, operating speed and inlet conditions are matched to the fluid’s actual behavior.
Mud properties determine cavity filling and wear
High viscosity can limit inlet flow while abrasive solids accelerate component wear. Selection should account for the maximum expected viscosity and density, solids concentration, suction-line losses, differential pressure and available drive speed.
