I have a similar situation and would like to find a suitable pump for CO2. 5000 psi and capable of a few gallons a minute for short periods (10 min).
If only slightly cooled, pumping to this pressure would drive my liquid supercritical. Is that an issue in pump selection? Must the fluid be cooled so that after compression it is still less than the critical temperature?

If the delta P is under 1000, then a centifugal looks good. If the flowrate is under 100 GPM an PD pump looks good. IF flowrate is over 100 GPM centifugal, if, if, if.....
It may call for a combination of a verticle can pump to get NPSH right then a PD pump.
As for line size, could be 1" could be 100 feet, how much do you want to move.
