A mud pump is a reciprocating piston/plunger pump designed to circulate drilling fluid under high pressure (up to 7,500 psi (52,000 kPa)) down the drill string and back up the annulus. A duplex mud pump is an important part of the equipment used for oil well drilling.

Duplex mud pumps (two piston/plungers) have generally been replaced by the triplex pump, but are still common in developing countries. Two later developments are the hex pump with six vertical pistons/plungers, and various quintuplex’s with five horizontal piston/plungers. The advantages that Duplex mud pumps have over convention triplex pumps is a lower mud noise which assists with better Measurement while drilling and Logging while drilling decoding.

Use duplex mud pumps to make sure that the circulation of the mud being drilled or the supply of liquid reaches the bottom of the well from the mud cleaning system. Despite being older technology than the triplex mud pump, the duplex mud pumps can use either electricity or diesel, and maintenance is easy due to their binocular floating seals and safety valves.

A mud pump is composed of many parts including mud pump liner, mud pump piston, modules, hydraulic seat pullers, and other parts. Parts of a mud pump:housing itself

Duplex pumps are used to provide a secondary means of fuel transfer in the event of a failure of the primary pump. Each pump in a duplex set is sized to meet the full flow requirements of the system. Pump controllers can be set for any of the following common operating modes:Lead / Lag (Primary / Secondary): The lead (primary) pump is selected by the user and the lag (secondary pump operates when a failure of the primary pump is detected.

Alternating: Operates per Lead / Lag (Primary / Secondary) except that the operating pump and lead / lag status alternate on consecutive starts. A variation is to alternate the pumps based on the operating time (hour meter) of the lead pump.

A quintuplex pump has a crankshaft supported in the pump by external main bearings. The crankshaft has five eccentric sheaves, two internal main bearing sheaves, and two bull gears.

A quintuplex pump is central to oil drilling and exploration due to the nature of operations. This pump circulates the mud to and from the surface, supporting the process for oil well operations.

The quintuplex pump is designed to circulate mud or drilling fluid under great pressure down the drill hole and back up. The pump is a reciprocating model that features five pistons, hence the name quintuplex mud pump. The right degree of pressure and precision is crucial for efficient well operations.

Despite the fact that all mud pumps have pulsation dampeners, noise levels are likely to be high and require modifications to keep noise pollution levels low. This is important, considering the long-running hours of equipment and the need to protect personnel from constant and high noise levels. With a quintuplex mud pump, the pulsation noise and the mud telemetry noise come down by as much as half, making operations less noisy.

Quintuplex pumps can be used in various applications including salt water disposal, descaling, high pressure pumping, Frac pumping, pipeline transfers in the Oil & Gas, Agriculture, Mining, Municipal and Manufacturing sectors.

Mud pumps comes in a variety of sizes and configurations but for the typical petroleum drilling rig, the triplex (three piston/plunger) mud pumps are the pump of choice. Duplex mud pumps (two piston/plungers) have generally been replaced by the triplex pump, but are still common in developing countries. Two later developments are the hex pump with six vertical pistons/plungers, and various quintuplex’s with five horizontal piston/plungers.

Duplex, triplex and quintuplex pumps all have an enviable history of sound engineering, designed to exceed the rigorous requirements of API 674 and customer satisfaction.

The PZ 2400 features a Y-shaped module design, meaning less stress is placed on the pumps internal components and higher flow rates can be achieved with improved fatigue life.

Adjust or replace these bearings at first sign of wear. The bearings in the crank end are babbitt lined steel shells, adjustable for wear by removing shims and easily replaced when completely worn. These bearings should be watched closely and adjusted at first signs of looseness.. You will note on series 3400, 3800, 3500, and 3900 pumps, that the shims do not completely fill the outer gap between rod and cap casting, although the connecting rod bolts are tight. This is because the faces of the shell bearings project slightly beyond the faces of the rod and cap castings, and the shims are gripped only between the faces of the bearing halves. Do not try to close this outer gap by tightening the connecting rod bolt as it will put an excessive strain on the bolts.

To check for wear, place a wrench on the top connecting rod bolt and shake the rod parallel to the crankshaft. (The pressure must be relieved from the liquid end of the pump, so that the pump"s mechanism is free to move.) If the rod bearing moves without resistance, the bearing may be too loose and need adjusting. If the bearing does need adjusting, remove shims until you cannot shake the rod, then add .005" shims one at a time until there is little side movement. Be sure to torque rod bolt nuts to proper value for each adjustment. Oil clearance should be checked with Plastigage (available in most parts stores). Wipe crankshaft journal clean of any oil, place a strip of Plastigage on the crankshaft journal and tighten rod cap to the proper torque value. Once tightened, remove rod cap and measure oil clearance with scale on Plastigage package. See oil clearance chart. (NOTE: If you are making this adjustment after having had the crossheads out, be sure that the oil holes in the rod are pointing up. The "up" side is indicated by matching numbers stamped on the cap and rod at the split between them. These numbers should be the same on each rod and should be on the top side of the crankshaft.) Rotate the shaft by hand and if there is any hard drag or tight spots in the bearing, add another 0.005" shim. After this bearing is properly adjusted, loosen bolts a few turns and repeat the above operation on the other bearings. After all bearings have been adjusted.

Torque all connecting rod bolt nuts back to proper value. Again rotate the pump by hand to check for excessive drag and tight spots. If none, the pump should be ready for operation.

If the pump cannot be rotated by hand due to the drive being enclosed, care must-be taken: not to over-tighten the bearings, since they cannot be checked by rotating the pump. When bearings are adjusted by this method, watch carefully for overheating when the pump is put into operation.

It is usually better to have a bearing a little too loose than too tight. A slightly loose bearing will cause very little trouble because of the slow operating speeds of the pump, but a tight bearing will overheat and the babbitt may melt or pull. Normal precautions must be taken to insure cleanliness of parts upon their assembly.

Inspect connecting rod bearings and adjust as necessary every six months or when crankcase lubricant is changed. The bearings in the crank end are babbitt lined steel shells, adjustable for wear by removing shims and easily replaced when completely worn. These bearings should be watched closely and adjusted to compensate for wear. You will note that shims do not completely fill the outer gap between rod and cap casting although the connecting rod bolts are tight. This is because the faces of the shell bearings project slightly beyond the faces of the rod and cap castings and the shims are gripped only between the faces of the bearing halves. Do not try to close this outer gap by tightening the connecting rod bolt as it will put an excessive strain on them.

Alternatively, plastic gauge strips, found in most parts stores may be used to adjust these bearings. It is usually better to have a bearing a little too loose than too tight. A slightly loose bearing will cause very little trouble because of the slow operating speeds of the pump, but a tight bearing will overheat and the babbitt may melt or pull. with experience, an operator can tell by feel when the bearings are properly adjusted. Normal precautions must be taken to insure cleanliness of parts upon their assembly. All wrenches used in adjusting these bearings are standard wrenches.

Do you have a pump that is starting to vibrate and lose efficiency, but cannot be taken offline because production must continue and the pump does not have an installed spare? PumpWorks may have a custom solution. In this situation, we may have a duplicate pump that can be remanufactured from our inventory. Once complete there is minimum downtime while the pumps are exchanged. Your pump can then be remanufactured as a warehouse spare or added to PumpWorks’ inventory for credit. This may also be a great time to perform a hydraulic rerate to dial your pump into the exact performance your process now requires.

You have a new project upcoming and several decommissioned/surplus pumps. Perhaps PumpWorks can remanufacture and rerate your existing pumps for the new project. If the pumps cannot be rerated to fit the new project, PumpWorks may be interested in purchasing them for our inventory. In this scenario, a credit equal to the surplus-value of your pumps may be applied towards the purchase of a remanufactured pump from our inventory.

PumpWorks will custom engineer the skid footprint and nozzle heights of a newly remanufactured pump to fit your current foundations and piping centerline heights. Truly a custom solution.

Does the project require changing one or several pumps at a station or at multiple stations on a line? PumpWorks may have an identical pump in inventory that can be remanufactured and rerated to match the new requirement. This pump can be exchanged for one of the existing pumps which could then be overhauled and rerated. This process can then be repeated down the line. At the end of the process, there will be an extra pump that can be rerated as warehouse spare or can be returned to PumpWorks inventory for credit. This will help eliminate downtime during project execution.

Do you have an obsolete pump with no spares? PumpWorks can overhaul that pump and collect all the critical data to produce a full set of spares, drawings, and parts. Your pump can be returned to service on an expedited turnaround and PumpWorks can then manufacture anything you need including a complete spare rotating element.

Everyone has a bad actor. That pump that does not perform to the curve, runs hot, vibrates, or continues to fail prematurely. Is it the pump? The operational parameters? The installation? Let PumpWorks test that pump with our motor on our fully automated and instrumented test stand as an unbiased third party. We can help you identify the source of the problem. If the problem is the pump, we can propose a repair, upgrade, or rerate while the pump is in our facility. If the problem is the installation, our field service team can provide a variety of solutions including field machining of your existing skid.
