(Place the vertical mud pump upright or tilted in the liquid. Make sure the pump case is completely submerged in water. In addition, the motor part can not be immersed in water.)
A mud pump is a reciprocating pump used to circulate fluid (mud) through a well during drilling. The reason for circulating fluid through the well is to carry the cuttings from the drilling process back up to the surface. The mud pump is used in oil and gas drilling operations as well as water drilling.
A mud pump (sometimes referred to as a mud drilling pump or drilling mud pump), is a reciprocating piston/plunger pump designed to circulate drilling fluid under high pressure (up to 7,500 psi or 52,000 kPa) down the drill string and back up the annulus. A mud pump is an important part of the equipment used for oil well drilling.
Mud pumps can be divided into single-acting pump and double-acting pump according to the completion times of the suction and drainage acting in one cycle of the piston"s reciprocating motion.
Mud pumps come in a variety of sizes and configurations but for the typical petroleum drilling rig, the triplex (three piston/plunger) mud pump is used. Duplex mud pumps (two piston/plungers) have generally been replaced by the triplex pump, but are still common in developing countries.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 quintuplexes with five horizontal piston/plungers. The advantages that these new pumps have over convention triplex pumps is a lower mud noise which assists with better measurement while drilling (MWD) and logging while drilling (LWD) decoding.
The fluid end produces the pumping process with valves, pistons, and liners. Because these components are high-wear items, modern pumps are designed to allow quick replacement of these parts.
To reduce severe vibration caused by the pumping process, these pumps incorporate both a suction and discharge pulsation dampener. These are connected to the inlet and outlet of the fluid end.
The pressure of the pump depends on the depth of the drilling hole, the resistance of flushing fluid (drilling fluid) through the channel, as well as the nature of the conveying drilling fluid. The deeper the drilling hole and the greater the pipeline resistance, the higher the pressure needed.
With the changes of drilling hole diameter and depth, the displacement of the pump can be adjusted accordingly. In the mud pump mechanism, the gearbox or hydraulic motor is equipped to adjust its speed and displacement. In order to accurately measure the changes in pressure and displacement, a flow meter and pressure gauge are installed in the mud pump.
The construction department should have a special maintenance worker that is responsible for the maintenance and repair of the machine. Mud pumps and other mechanical equipment should be inspected and maintained on a scheduled and timely basis to find and address problems ahead of time, in order to avoid unscheduled shutdown. The worker should attend to the size of the sediment particles; if large particles are found, the mud pump parts should be checked frequently for wear, to see if they need to be repaired or replaced. The wearing parts for mud pumps include pump casing, bearings, impeller, piston, liner, etc. Advanced anti-wear measures should be adopted to increase the service life of the wearing parts, which can reduce the investment cost of the project, and improve production efficiency. At the same time, wearing parts and other mud pump parts should be repaired rather than replaced when possible.
The motor used to power a centrifugal pump needs to be able to produce enough torque to start the pump and bring it to an optimal operating speed. If a motor lacks enough torque to operate a pump, the pump may not start or may only operate at a reduced speed. The centrifugal pump suppliers at PumpWorks will guide you through the pump motor selection process.
A pump’s torque-speed curve is used to determine the appropriate motor to match with it. A pump’s torque-speed curve is produced by plotting the percentage of full load torque (FLT) vertically against the percentage of full load speed (FLS) plotted horizontally. An example is shown below.
The torque-speed curve is similar for all centrifugal pumps due to simple math: the pump torque varies as the square of its speed. However, when the pump is at rest—0% full load speed—the full load torque is never also 0%. Starting a rotating pump requires the motor to overcome the pump inertia and static friction.
To overcome pump inertia and static friction, approximately 20% of full load torque is required. As the pump’s speed increases, the required torque gradually declines. For example, at about 15% full load speed the required torque typically is around 5% or 10% full load torque. As shown below, the pump torque-speed curve follows the square law:
Like pumps, motors produce a torque-speed curve of their own. By overlaying the torque-speed curve of a pump and a motor, one can verify that the motor is producing enough accelerating torque to drive the pump to full speed, as shown below.
In this overlay the shaded area reflects the accelerating torque available from the motor to drive the pump. Where the two curves intersect is the point at which the motor’s torque is insufficient to drive the pump any faster. In other words, this is the point of maximum pump speed while powered by this motor.
Torque at zero flow is especially important for pumps with axial flow (or propeller) designs. The torque-speed curve of such pumps is such that the highest HP, and therefore the highest torque, is required at zero flow. An axial-flow pump must be paired with a motor with adequate HP to get the pump moving.
Another important factor in motor selection is the pump’s inertia value at the motor shaft. Inertia is a measure of an object’s resistance to movement change. The higher the pump inertia, the longer the motor will take to start the pump and bring it to full load speed.
This is significant because motors draw current to bring pumps up to speed. The longer a motor takes to overcome a pump’s inertia, the more heat it will generate. A motor must be sized to handle the pump’s inertia to avoid damaging the motor’s windings.
If a motor directly drives the pump, the values of the pump and pump-motor coupling inertias are the same regardless of pump speed. If the pump is driven by a gearbox and motor, however, the gearbox can have a major impact on inertia values. In this application inertia can be expressed as:
A gearbox’s effect on inertia can be understood by analogy to a bicycle. When a bicycle is ridden at high speeds, the rider may change to a higher gear ratio (one greater than 1.0) to go faster. Such a ratio also requires the rider to put in more effort. Likewise, if a gearbox shifts to a higher gear ratio, the motor will have a higher load. The same logic applies if the gearbox is reducing the motor speed to drive the pump slower. When the gearbox ratio is less than 1.0, it will reduce the load requirements on the motor.
Selecting the right pump and motor for a specific application can be a complex job. The team at PumpWorks is dedicated to finding pump solutions that meet the exact needs of each customer.
