VIKING GP-414 BOOSTER PUMPS

VIKING PUMP COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES

● Three pump sections (2 static seals) vs. seven (6 static seals). Fewer static seals for less potential leak paths and chances of runout.

● Single mechanical seal versus two mechanical seals. Mechanical seals are the most common cause of failure in a gear pump, and using two seals doubles the chances of unplanned downtime.

● Fluid-lubricated sleeve bearings means no re-greasing or maintenance vs. competitor roller bearings that require re-greasing every six months.

VS. OTHER EXTERNAL GEAR PUMPS:

● Motor speed operation vs. requirement for slower RPMs, requiring gearbox which adds system cost, footprint, maintenance (lubrication) and two shaft alignments – motor to gearbox and gearbox to pump.

● Less space required for maintenance work. Almost double the length of the pump assembly is required to replace the stator of a PC pump.

● Significant space savings – our pump assembly is approximately 5’ in length. A progressing cavity pump offering similar performance will be 15’ or more in length, often requiring a special door if LACT is mounted in an enclosure.

● More forgiving of operator error, especially run dry. Progressing cavity pumps have zero run dry capability. Running dry results in catastrophic failure resulting in expensive replacement of rotor and or stator.

VS. PROGRESSING CAVITY PUMPS:

● Motor speed rotary pump vs. triplex reciprocating piston pump with gearbox and crankshaft to keep lubricated, and check valves, seats and seals to replace.

● Less auxiliary equipment. Motor speed pump, so no gearbox required. Smooth flow, so no pulsation dampeners required.

● Significant space savings, easily mounted in an enclosure.

● Smooth flow vs. high pulsation flow that is hard on surrounding equipment.

VS. PLUNGER PUMPS:
