Filter intake module FPPR
Function
The suspended filter FPPR, equipped with filtration elements made from a permeable matrix of pressed metal wire (PM), is designed for use in bottom-hole pumps and sucker-rod screw pumps with nominal outputs of 150 to 1000 m³/day. It prevents the penetration of solids such as sand, proppant, and other particles sized 100 to 500 µm into the pumping units.
Advantages
  • Enhanced reliability and effective operation of ESP units.
  • Increased run life of bottom-hole pumps and sucker-rod screw pumps.
  • Modular structure of the filtration system based on PM material.
  • Crevice effect of compressed wire mesh ensures filtration elements remain clear of solids.
  • 1.5 to 2 times reduction in total filter length due to the high porosity of PM material and low hydraulic resistance compared to slotted and screen filtration systems.
  • Long-term operation of bottom-hole pumps and sucker-rod screw pumps without a decrease in output.
  • Adjustable cutoff rating through controlled compression of filtration elements.
  • Insensitivity to shock loads and hole curvature due to the elastic properties of PM material.
  • High corrosion and erosion resistance of filtration elements made from PM material.
  • Ability of filtration elements to recover during servicing operations.
Design Features
  • Bypass valves are incorporated into the filter to prevent a decrease in the flow rate of bottom-hole pumps and sucker-rod screw pumps due to filtration element blinding.
  • The ends of the filtration elements are made of stainless steel, which protects the edges and provides rigidity.
  • The symmetrical design of the filter simplifies mounting and allows the entire length of the inner supporting tube (housing) to be used as a slurry trap.
  • Mounting dimensions follow the thread standard of Ø73 according to Russian Standard GOST 633-80.
