We have recently designed a screen for PC Pumps (patent pending). The PC Pump Screen has the same protection qualities as our submersible pump screens. The PC Pump Screen comes equipped with a suction relief valve designed by Industrial Screen & Maintenance, Inc that prevents the pump from running dry in the rare event that the screen becomes restricted. Under those conditions the suction will open the valve, allowing water to flow through the pump, preventing it from overheating. This screen also has degassing capabilities that prevents gas locking resulting in high temperature pump damage and loss of pump efficiency.
Another consideration for using our pump screen is to protect related equipment. Even though PC Pumps have the reputation for enduring coal fines and sand, the flow meters, separators and production equipment that follow the pump don’t. PC Pumps will lose some of their efficiency over time, so having our screen will extend their life. Longer pump life results in less down time and higher profits.
We also have many other types of screens and shrouds that are used in the oil and gas fields. |
