PCM Vulcain™ ultra high temperature pump
With a PCM unique and patented ultra-high temperature PCP technology, PCM Vulcain™ high temperature oil transfer pump boosts usual PCP temperature limitation up to 350°C/660°F.
With a metal stator replacing the elastomer, the PCM Vulcain™ All- Metal PCP (AMPCP) features the same geometry and advantages as a conventional PCP but with the elimination of elastomer temperature and compatibility limits.
It runs at low intake pressure; keeps good volumetric efficiency (even when pumping 100% water and steam) and can handle very viscous fluid.
These features make the AMPCP technology highly versatile, as it is virtually unaffected by transient periods such as: SAGD warm-up period; beginning or end of the production in CSS; erratic heat front propagation or fluctuation during steam flood production.
