Paper: Automatic Back-Wash Pumping System Recent Technological Gains Have Evolved A New Generation Of Smart Rod Pumps Offering Dramatic Lifting Cost Reduction

Patented new technology was recently introduced to the petroleum industry that reduces the Ming cost per barrel of fluid by containing the spectrum of abrasive particles that damage the rod pump. This technology includes a stainless steel membrane system with specifically tailored micron rated openings. Production operators throughout the world continue to document dramatic economic benefits when a dedicated abrasive particulate control system is used to protect the crucial tolerance of the rod pump plunger to barrel interface.
