Waste Management with Submersible Slurry Pumps: Supporting Environmental Compliance in West Africa


Vertical submersible slurry pump is widely applied in oil drilling mud system, HDD drilling mud recycling system , CBM drilling mud cleaning system, civil construction desanding plant. With mature upgrading design, assured quality materials, the slurry mud pump can withstand many tough work conditions.  We just completed the production of 4sets submersible slurry mud pumps by last week, it is order from West Africa oil drilling contractor. The clients provide drilling operation services to national petroleum companies. In order to meet the requirement of environmental protection Bureau, the drilling contractor need to take care of the WBM mud pit after drilling completion, and the drilling contractor adopt our WBM dewatering unit to dewatering the waste WBM to get thickened mud cake and environmentally friendly relatively clean water. The client purchased the 4sets slurry waste mud pump to feeding to the WBM dewatering unit (waste/spent mud dewatering unit).

Vertical submersible slurry pump refers to the pump installed vertically; the pump inlet is submerged in water, and the motor at the other end of pump in the top position. When running, the motor drives the impeller to rotate through the coupling and shaft, and the impeller squeezes the slurry into the conveying pipe during the rotating process. At the same time, because the slurry is thrown out at the center of the impeller, it has negative pressure relative to the atmospheric pressure, and the external slurry is pressed into the pump shell by the pressure, so that the slurry pump completes the continuous conveying of the slurry. To achieve the same mud transfer, pneumatic diaphragm pumps and single screw pumps can also be applied. The spare parts of single screw pumps is rotor and stator, this is high cost to replacement.

Other technical advantages of submersible slurry pumps:

Ÿ    The slurry pump is connected through the flexible coupling and the electric motor, with a vertical single stage and single suction system overhung centrifugal pump, simple structure and mature design;

Ÿ    The impeller made of abrasion-resistant alloy, can convey medium with high concentration particles;

Ÿ    No bearing and Gland Seal between impeller and pump body, so the pit pump is maintenance-free and high temperature resistance;

Ÿ    The slurry pit pump can be used for HDD project, Feeding Shale Shaker from Mud Pit for HDD Mud Recycling;

With many years' experience in solids control & drilling waste management equipment, we have different type pumps to achieve the target purpose, like centrifugal pumps, shear pumps, positive displacement pumps , mud pumps, Netzsch brand nemo pumps (replacement to NOV mono pumps) etc. Should you have any requirement, please don't hesitate to contact us, our official email: sales@kessepration.com
