HPS Drives for More Efficient Saltwater Disposal Pump Operation
Product Description
Disposing of saltwater through injection applications puts incredible stress and wear on the pump. Traditional solutions run the pump at full speed and use a valve to choke back pressure to the optimum level. The SPOC HPS drive offers an alternative solution that greatly reduces wear on your system, helping you operate more efficiently.
The HPS variable frequency drive controls the speed at the pump, allowing you to leave the valve open at all times, reducing wear and failures within the system. The drive’s simple interface allows you to control and monitor your tank levels, vibration sensors, intake pressure and discharge pressure. You can now control the pump at the widest possible range.
With HPS, you get precise control over your system and your operators get better data, historical and run-time information than other drives on the market. HPS drives ensure the widest possible operating range for your pump system and reduce costly down time. The HPS drive is available with ModBus RTU and Ethernet communications, so you can tie the drives into your SCADA system
With the HPS drive, you can:
- Use traditional oilfield switches and gauge controls, or fully automate the pump system with more accurate pressure transducers with analog outputs.
- Reduce peak demand charges from utility and energy consumption when compared to across-the-line starters.
- Reduce inrush currents to the name-plate amps of the motor; that is seven to 12 times less than starting the H-Pump with an across-the-line starter.
- Save money by running the pump at the optimal speed rather than just an on/off control.
