PRESSURE PUMPING

Overview

Hydraulic frac pumps require frequent changes of the reciprocating plunger seal packing. Keeping the packing properly lubricated while pumping is a necessity to help extend its life. The goal is to keep positive pressure on the packing bore and film strength on the plunger by delivering small-metered shots of either grease or oil. Long pumping hours, harsh environments, and contamination put a strain on the lube systems used to achieve this goal.

Bill Spitzer & Associates provides several solutions to the market from a standard Pump-In-a-Box to our Large Capacity FlowMaster Packages.

Key Offerings

  • Large Capacity FlowMaster Packages

    • Utilizes Lincoln’s FlowMaster Pump Station proven in the harshest environments

Value

  • Large Capacity FlowMaster Packages

    • Large reservoir capacity increases reliability by minimizing contamination caused by poor refilling 
techniques

    • Large reservoir capacity improves safety by keeping frac hands out of the iron during pump time for grease system refill

    • Increase in packing life by quickly replenishing the film strength on the plunger through smaller shots 
of grease more frequently 


    • Components are specifically designed to handle the rough environment, which minimizes field 
“aggravation” caused by distribution block failure or pump element failure 


    • Reduced lubricant consumption leading to significant cost savings in grease or oil

    • System is designed to perform for years versus months 


    • Cost of ownership much lower. Return on investment is less than one year 


    • Market proven over 10 years in the field

  • Pump-In-a-Box

    • Industry Standard

    • Simple and cost effective solution

    • Easily replaceable upon failure
