Pump type for sandy liquid 1

[sealion6100]

Hi all!
Could you please advise me which type of pump can be used for liquid (oil) which has sand content about 14pttb.
Thank you.

I know that PCPs (pregesssive cavity pumps) are used to pump slurries, so are pretty tolerant of solids.

DrillerNic ...is correct (except his spelling! *G*) "Moyno" makes a progressive cavity pump that I've used a number of times in sandy water service. Try the link below.

seepex is also a wellknown manufactor of PCP:

I have bought pumps from them and received good service.

Best regards

Weatherford make a downhole PCP- driven by a submersible motoer like an ESP, instead of the more common PCP setup with a surface motor and sucker rod drive shaft to a downhole pump.
