Filter intake module FVPR
FUNCTION
The FVPR filter intake module, equipped with an externally positioned permeable matrix of pressed metal wire (PM) filtration elements, is designed for use in ESP units 5.5A and 7A. It has a nominal output capacity of up to 200 m³/day and serves to prevent the entry of solids such as sand, proppant, and other particles sized between 100 and 500 µm into the pumping units.
Advantages
  • Enhanced reliability and effective operation of ESP pumps, leading to an increased lifespan of ESP units.
  • Modular structure of the filtration system made from PM material, featuring a sectional design of the filters.
  • The crevice effect of PM material allows filtration elements to stay clear of solids.
  • Reduction in total filter length by 1.5 to 2 times due to the high porosity of PM material and low hydraulic resistance, compared to slotted and screen filtration systems.
  • Long-term operation of the ESP unit without a decrease in output.
  • Ability to adjust the cutoff rating by controlling the compression of the filtration elements.
  • Resistance to shock loads and hole curvature thanks to the elastic properties of PM material.
  • High corrosion and erosion resistance of filtration elements made from PM material.
  • Capability of filtration elements to recover during servicing operations.
Design Features
  • Bypass valves are incorporated into the filter to prevent a decrease in ESP unit flow rate due to filtration element blinding.
  • The ends of the filtration elements are made from stainless steel, which protects the edges and provides rigidity.
  • The filter has a corrosion-resistant design, with the shaft made from "K" Monel.
