Comparing Electric Submersible Pump with Generator and Hydraulic Submersible Pump Systems.
Electric Submersible with Generator:
- Submersible pump is not affected by suction lift limitations
- Generator must run at constant full speed at all times
- Fuel usage is high regardless of demand on pump
- May be unsafe to operate in certain areas
- Potential shock hazard
- Costly to repair
Hydraulic Submersible: (from Hydra-Tech Pumps)
- Submersible pump is NOT affected by suction lift limitations
- Variable pump speed to suit job conditions
- High overall efficiency and low fuel consumption
- Can be used in hazardous environments
- Many different pumps can be driven from a single power unit
- Pump and power unit are field serviceable
- Easy and inexpensive to maintain
