Deep Well Injection
Problem: Hydroplex HP-350 triplex plunger pump (0.75 gpm at 10,000 psi) for high pressure deep well methanol injection in an oil & gas upstream pumping application. On the discharge side of the pump, the amount of methanol the pump is dosing is metered. Without a dampener to control pulsations and smooth out the flow, the installed flow meters will not give accurate readings. Additionally, when using a triplex pump it is important that all three chambers of the pump stay full of fluid with no voids. Any voids or pockets can cause seals to leak, pump vibration and excess pump noise.
