Screw pumps for wells with sand. Screw pumps for wells. What type of pump is best suited for such a source and the right choice of pump

From the correct choice of pumping equipment for the well, its productivity, durability, and sometimes the operational life of the hydraulic structure itself will depend.

MAIN TYPES OF PUMPS AND THEIR FEATURES

• Vibrating- are more often used in wells, since as a result of vibrations they can not only lift sediment from the bottom, but also damage the walls of the wells
• Centrifugal submersible– more than once I was convinced that this is the best solution for wells. During operation, a minimum of vibrations is formed, the productivity is large enough, as is the height of the water rise, and overheating is excluded due to the design features of the engine
• Drainage or self-priming– their use is relevant for shallow wells or as dehumidifiers for caissons

selection of a pump and equipment for a well, criteria

• Water lifting height- these are the total values ​​​​of the depth of the well (from the point of immersion of the pump to the surface of the earth) and the height of the top point water intake from ground level. The coefficient of horizontal movement of water is also taken into account if the hydraulic structure is located at a sufficient distance from the house (20-30 meters)
• Well type(on sand, artesian) and casing material - we have experienced in practice the damage that vibration pumps can cause to a PET pipe or downhole filter
• Volumes of water consumption and maximum total loads
• Well flow rate
• Water quality in the well and the presence of solid impurities in it

I advise you to rely on the experience and qualifications of professionals in this matter. We will select a suitable pump, offer it to you at a dealer price, and carry out professional installation.

Now I will answer the questions that our clients most often ask us.

Which pump is best for a well?

Based personal experience, I can say that for wells, regardless of their depth, the material of the walls of the casing string and the type of downhole filter, it is better to use centrifugal (vortex) submersible pumps.

Why?

During operation, they do not vibrate, so they do not raise sediment from the bottom, and most importantly, they are not able to damage the walls of the casing string and the downhole filter. They are also highly efficient and, unlike vibratory pumps, can run longer continuously.

Important!

How to choose a pump The basis of choice is the productivity of the well in relation to the consumption volumes (peak and average).

What types of wells do we drill

Advantages of centrifugal submersible pumps

Centrifugal pumps cannot physically overheat, as the water passes through the motor, which consists of a rotor freely rotating due to the force of electromagnetism, and a stator. There is a stream moving between them. cold water providing natural cooling.

If there is no more than 10-15 meters to the water surface from the surface, you can use self-priming pump, but there are a number of difficulties here, including the need for its additional maintenance and control.

Below I will review the characteristics of several centrifugal pumps in comparison with a vibrating counterpart, so that it is easier for you to understand the difference in performance.

Pump Model	Power	lifting height	Capacity l/h	Immersion depth	Price
Vibration pump BELAMOS BV012, 25 m	300 W	70 m	990 l	3m	2800 rubles
Centrifugal submersible pump Caliber NPCS- 1.5/50-550	550 W	50 m	1500 l	5 m	5300 rubles
Centrifugal submersible pump QUATTRO ELEMENTI Deep 1500 Pro 772-531	1500 W	115 m	5460 l	2 m	19500 rubles
Submersible borehole pump BELAMOS TF-60	900 W	60 m	4000 l	5 m	15000 rubles
GRUNDFOS SP 5A-25 3x400V 05001K25 with dry run protection	2200 W	153 m	6500 l	600 m	67000 rubles
Gileks Vodomet PROF 55/75 House (set for automatic autonomous water supply)	900 W	75 m	3300 l	30 m	26000 rubles

As you can see, the characteristics of the pump directly affect its price, but in each price category there are pumps of different performance. I have been convinced more than once that only a professional can determine the priority selection criteria.

Common mistakes when choosing and installing a pump

So what not to do?

• “The neighbors have one of these, which means it will suit me too” is a classic mistake. Two wells located 20-50 meters apart can vary greatly in flow rate. In addition, it is important to take into account such factors as material, casing diameter, bottomhole filter type, consumption volumes.
• "I'll buy more powerful - in reserve" is another common misconception. First, why pay more? Secondly, a pump that is too productive can ruin the well with low flow rate salvo pumping. We often had to repair a well, the water quality of which was lost precisely because of the wrong choice of pump
• "I'll do all the calculations myself"- even many of my colleagues who have switched to free bread do not always make calculations with high precision There are too many factors to take into account. Better leave it to the professionals

Classic when installing pumping equipment yourself:

• Not right choice installation depth
• Incorrect fastening of the pump on the carrying cable, as a result of which part of the load falls on the power cord
• Incorrect connection to the mains

IMPORTANT!

Do-it-yourself installation - is it necessary? I strongly recommend not to regret one or two thousand rubles for the work of specialists who will make all the calculations and carry out the installation correctly.

The optimal installation depth of the pump between the bottom and the water surface for standard water intake

Here we completely turn off the fantasy - the installation depth of the pump is a constant value recommended by the equipment manufacturer. The nuances take place only for high-performance models with a large installation depth. In this case, at least one meter of water column must remain to the bottom of the well.

At what depth should a submerged pump be installed for pumping a well?

At the stage of pumping a well, we always pursue the same goal - to pump out sand and turbidity from the bottomhole. It is irrational to do this with a centrifugal pump, since they are very sensitive to the presence of fine solid impurities in the water.

Therefore, for pumping (if possible), a vibration pump with a lifting height of up to 80-110 meters is used.

They are not afraid of sand, and they can be installed almost at the very bottom in order to pump out unnecessary dirt from the well to the maximum.

If the well is pumped by a centrifugal pump, then at least one meter must remain to its bottom, as required by the instructions for the equipment.

Dry running protection for borehole pump

Imagine such a situation - you are not at home, a tap leaked, and as a result, the pump pumped out all the water from the well and continued to work.

The result is the replacement of expensive equipment, since the plastic impeller will not withstand high temperatures. If it is protected from dry running - relays, special floats and automation, then such incidents are excluded.

Cable conduit for borehole pump. submersible pump cable extension for a well

I can assure you that you will not find a pump that comes with an electrical cable of the same length as the lifting height for which it is designed, because 120 meters of cable is a lot. The maximum that the manufacturer offers is 15-30 meters.

How to be? Ramp up! I categorically do not recommend doing this on your own, but if you still decide, then here are some of my professional tips:

• Use a submersible cable- yes, it is a little more expensive, yes - there will be no disaster if you take a regular one, but if for some reason damage occurs in a simple cable, the consequences can be serious. Submersible is designed for direct contact with water, it is better
• The connection must be on maximum height from the water surface - do not cut the cable just before entering the pump - cut the plug
• Use special connectors and epoxy resin for hermetically sealed joints or special heat shrink sleeves
• Use an appropriate cable section corrected for resistance along the length

In general, everything is not simple here either, so I recommend leaving this work to specialists.

Pump and automation for sand wells

Wells for sand in the Moscow region are used mainly for irrigation in garden plots.

The flow rate in such wells is usually low and variable, and the water quality is low, as it contains a lot of sand.

The optimal solution is a submersible vibration pump. It is affordable, picky about water quality.

The subtleties of installing a vibration pump
When installing the pump, it is important to fix it so that it does not touch the walls of the casing string or bottom screen, otherwise vibrations can lead to mechanical damage equipment or building itself.

We automate the system based on the vibration pump

The easiest option for automatic shutdown such a pump is a switch with a timer.

If you know the flow rate of the well, and it is, for example, 500 liters per hour, and your pump pumps this volume in half an hour, then simply set the timer for 20 minutes to select the required volume of water and go about your business.

You can also use a float system.

Inefficient pump for a well with a low flow rate

Wells with low flow rates present a serious problem. I often came across the fact that people are looking for low-performance pumps as a solution, but you will not find them, because even the smallest pump has a minimum capacity of 450 liters per hour, and if the well flow rate is 250 liters, then this discrepancy is almost doubled.

What to do? I suggest the following solution:

• We install a storage tank for 500-1000 liters in the basement or in the attic. If in the basement, then with a membrane to maintain pressure, if in the attic, then without
• We connect automation to the tank in order to constantly keep it full
• We install automation to protect against dry running in the well

What do we get as a result? Your country house provided with water, because even with a very strong desire, you will not make a salvo discharge of 500 liters. The volume of water in the bathroom is 200 liters, one wash in an automatic machine is 60-80 liters, a toilet tank is 8-15 liters.

The pump works in segments of 5-7 minutes, if necessary, replenishing the tank or stopping work if the water in the well goes below a certain level. Problem solved!

Is a vibration pump harmful to a well?

Harmful, and I'll tell you more, if installed incorrectly, it will destroy the well faster than you think. Vibration is to blame. Sometimes the use of a centrifugal type pump is irrelevant, and in these cases it is important to at least follow the installation rules:

• Install the vibration pump at least 1.5 meters above the bottom of the well
• The pump should not touch the walls of the casing - it should hang freely in the water column
• I also recommend using models with an upper water intake - this way it will disturb the face less

Water hammer when turning on the pump and strong shock when turning it off

Water hammer in the water supply system not only leads to the failure of plumbing, but also the pumping equipment itself. This phenomenon occurs when the pump is directly wedged into the system.

It is easy to avoid this - for this I advise you to definitely use membrane accumulators. They dampen sudden pressure surges in the system, extending the life of your expensive plumbing equipment.

Features of maintenance of pumping equipment

During my career, I have come across this issue many times. In fact, in the case correct installation and operation of the submersible pump does not require additional maintenance. Some models require prelubrication individual elements just before installation - nothing more.

When using centrifugal submersible pumps for pumping water with sand impurities, repair may be required - replacement of impellers. All these works should be carried out only by a professional - on your own you can only do harm.

Pump modeAlways follow the operating mode recommended by the manufacturer, do not overload the pump, then it will work properly throughout the entire operating period.

Boreholes are increasingly replacing wells as water intake sources. To extract water from them, special submersible pumps are needed, the range of which is wide on the market. To quickly understand the models, namely their characteristics, and then decide which unit to purchase, study our rating.

Negative consequences of well pollution during operation

In the vast majority, not only after drilling, but also during operation or after a long downtime, pumping a well is most often necessary for sandy species. The bottom of their aquifer usually consists of sand, clay or pebbles, silting leads to the following negative consequences:

Reducing the depth of the water source

It may have Negative consequences for submersible electric pumps located at a short distance from the bottom, the filters and components of the working mechanism supplying water will begin to clog with dirt, which will lead to an accelerated failure of pumping equipment.

Water quality is deteriorating

In addition to the fact that the silted bottom approaches the water-sucking units, the rising water, passing through the silted layer, carries along small particles of dirt, which contribute to the turbidity of the liquid. Water becomes unfit for drinking and domestic use, and it becomes too expensive to clean it with filters.

Debit is falling

The water pressure is prevented by a layer of dirt formed during the silting process, which resists its passage. Water may simply not be enough for domestic needs if the pump pumps out all the water from the well.

The water level is dropping

A drop in static and dynamic levels is a consequence of a change in flow rate and can lead to dry running of operating electric pumps.

These negative consequences do not appear immediately and serve as signs indicating the need to pump the well source.

Requirements for electric priming pumps

Not every electric pump pumps out contaminated water, for example, the answer to the question - “is it possible to clean the well with vortex views?” will be negative. Vortex models in effect design features(small gaps between the impeller of the vortex wheel and the walls of the working chamber) are absolutely not intended for working with contaminated water. When choosing the right pumping equipment, the following criteria should be followed:

Well Compliance

A pump for pumping a well must be suitable for its parameters, primarily due to its pressure and immersion depth.

Water Quality Compliance

The polluted bottom of well sources may consist of various fractions: sand, clay or pebbles. Type of pumping device must match the structure of pollution, otherwise it will not work effectively in an unsuitable environment and lead to failure.

low cost

It is irrational to spend a lot of money in everyday life to buy an expensive pumping electric pump - when working in a polluted environment, the mechanism of any device wears out faster, and replacing parts in expensive equipment, in addition to its high cost, will lead to even greater costs.

This statement does not apply to organizations involved in the pumping of wells on professional level. For example, expensive high-quality Gundfos submersible electric pumps, due to their high reliability after many years of operation, are more profitable to pump wells than domestic models.

High performance

This parameter affects the pumping time of contaminated water, which in some cases can take more than a day, and the cleaning efficiency. More powerful models suck up liquid from greater depths, respectively, taking away more contaminants than low-power devices.

The main types of electric pumps for cleaning wells

Due to their design features, several types of electric pumps most commonly used in everyday life can work effectively with contaminated water.

Vibrating

The use of vibration types for pumping dirty water has the following advantages and disadvantages:

low cost. All vibration models belong to products of the budget price category, the minimum cost of the Aquarius pump is about 20 USD.

Simplicity of design. Allows without special efforts and special equipment to independently repair or replace worn parts.

Working with dirty water. Vibratory electric pumps are best suited for pumping clay contaminants, sand and small pebbles quickly erase their rubber parts.

Principle of operation. The use of vibration pumps adversely affects the casing pipes, causing their deformation, and can also lead to complete silting of the well source due to the compaction of the sedimentary layer during vibration.

Low performance and uptime. These are the main disadvantages of vibration pumps, excluding their use for permanent water supply.

Screw (screw) submersible electric pumps

Screw electric pumps have the following distinctive features:

High price. The cheapest Unipump ECO VINT1 models are 4 times more expensive than vibration models - about 80 USD.

Working with contaminated liquids. The devices work well with very viscous clay soils, sand and small stones wear out the screw.

Simplicity of design. Single-screw household screw pumps have a simple device that allows you to independently clean, repair and replace parts without special skills.

Centrifugal pumps

Centrifugal types are the most common; both surface and submersible types are used to take pumped water from wells, which have the following features:

High price. Centrifugal electric pumps are quite expensive, the price of the cheapest Whirlwind models is 70 USD.

Working environment type. Special submersible centrifugal electric pumps are designed to work with fine solids - this allows them to pump water with sand.

Performance. Centrifugal electric pumps have a high efficiency and pumping volume, they can lift water to the highest height of all types presented.

For efficient pumping of wells, centrifugal electric pumps are most often used, designed to work with large particle sizes. Vibration types are best used as auxiliary equipment for supplying water under pressure to the bottom of the well, causing the mud to rise and mix it.

How does a sand well work?

Sand wells are the most common sources, as they are located on the first layer. This design requires careful selection of the pump. The resulting water will initially be heavily polluted with sand, so not every unit will be able to pump it efficiently. This will create an additional load on the pump, so the sand source requires the use of special powerful equipment.

The aquifer is represented by sand deposits. The porosity of the material is large, and therefore the mobility of each grain of sand is also high. Sandy water flow creates an additional load on the pump. The device cannot pump dirty water for a long time, so it burns out quickly. It is beyond repair. What to do in such a situation? The reasons for the rapid failure of equipment is a poor-quality pump.

Specialists in the field of water supply have developed a methodology additional protection water and equipment from sand. When arranging a hydraulic structure, a natural filter made of fine crushed stone or pebbles is used. This is a good way to stop any sand scouring or movement throughout the well. For greater efficiency, a mesh look filter.

Machine description

The sand pump is a single-stage and centrifugal equipment. The main task of this design is the pumping of abrasive slurries, waters with various impurities. But for effective pumping, a liquid must have certain properties.

The pumped solution must have:

• certain temperature (+5…60°С);
• density up to 1300 kg/m³;
• content of solid inclusions (up to 25%);
• maximum microhardness up to 9,000 MPa.

A well pump is perhaps the most important component of any well. It is the pump that supplies water from the source to the pipes, ensures its constant flow.

There are many varieties, but today we will focus on screw models, since they have very interesting design and working principle.

1 Features and purpose

Modern well pumps can be surface and submersible. In the first case, we consider a powerful pump with a rotor, which pumps water by sucking it through the working chamber. These devices do not differ in excessive performance and are capable of lifting water at a depth of up to 10 meters.

Submersible pump models are special equipment that pumps water while being directly in a well or well. They are immersed under the water column and left there for the entire time of operation. Submersible models are much more powerful and productive than their surface counterparts.

They are able to work at a serious depth and give out pressure from 50 meters of water column. Feedback from users also suggests that submersible pumps do their job much better, although they are more expensive.

A screw well pump just refers to submersible pumps that are engaged in pumping water from a well. It is called screw due to the fact that the main working mechanism in it is the “Archimedes screw”. It's pretty important nuance, since almost all submersible models for pumping water are equipped with centrifugal elements.

2 Types, characteristics and reviews

If we talk about specific varieties of screw pumps, then there are not so many of them. This is due to the fact that the screw pump itself is a type of submersible equipment.

However, it should be emphasized that screw submersible pumps can still be divided by working depth. According to this parameter, they are divided into:

• Standard;
• Deep.

Standard screw pumps are intended for use in wells and shallow wells. These can be sand wells that extract water from sandy aquifers. Their depth rarely reaches 20-25 meters, and the flow rate is relatively low.

For such conditions, the screw pump is best suited, as it is able to deliver a stable pressure and practically does not react to working with contaminated liquid.

2.1 Popular manufacturers

It is worth paying attention to the manufacturers of screw models of pumping equipment. Moreover, a lot depends on the manufacturer now. Large companies are interested in satisfied customers around the world. Therefore, you should not expect a dirty trick from their products.

Screw pumps Aquarius of the BTsPE series are very popular now. They are practical, productive and at the same time extremely compact. These products can be installed in wells up to 110 mm in diameter, which is an achievement in itself.

Also on the market there are screw pumps from the Belarusian company of the same name. They are renowned for their low cost and build quality.

From foreign manufacturers, it is worth paying attention to Unipump pumps. They cost a little more, but the high price is offset by extreme reliability and practicality during operation.

2.2 What is the installation technology of screw pumps?

By and large, submersible screw pump models are mounted in the same way as any other downhole stations. Nothing extraordinary is required of you here, although some attention should still be paid.

2.3 How does a screw pump work? (video)

The efficiency of autonomous water supply systems largely depends on the correct choice of equipment, when deciding which is better for a well, it is recommended to listen to the opinion of experts and read the reviews of the owners of various models of units.

The choice of a submersible pump for a well should be based on an analysis of operating conditions, an assessment of the technical features of the water source.

First of all, pay attention to the following characteristics:

• The depth of the hydraulic structure and the maximum possible head of the pumping unit.
• The diameter of the casing pipe, and the possibility of using the pump based on its overall dimensions.
• Water quality, many pumps are not designed to pump liquids with large quantity mechanical impurities (sand).
• The required performance of the equipment (expenditure characteristics) must meet the needs of all consumers.

Based on these data, you can choose pumps of various price categories.

In everyday life and production, it is often necessary to pump out water. This may be necessary, for example, to clean reservoirs, wells or wells.

But it is not always necessary to “cope” with clean water, without impurities, sand, silt and other deposits: when it becomes necessary to pump out water with various kinds of inclusions, sand pumps will help to cope with this task perfectly.

1 What is a sand pump?

The sand pump is a pumping equipment: it is single-stage, cantilever with an impeller (open) of one-way entry centrifugal pumps. Its main task is to pump various kinds, including sandy, abrasive slurries, ore dressing products, as well as alumina production, water mixed with clay, silt, etc. However, there are certain limitations on the physical and chemical properties of that fluid that needs to be pumped or cleaned.

Indicators that the pumped solution should have:

1. The temperature can be from 5ºC and not exceed 60ºC.
2. Density of pumped liquid up to 1300 kg/m³.
3. The concentration of solids (inclusions) should not exceed 25%.
4. The maximum size of these same inclusions can reach up to 10 mm, no more.
5. The maximum microhardness is 9000 MPa.

It is better to pay attention to these indicators, since if they are observed pump equipment will work most efficiently and for a long time.

1.1 Applications

The main areas of application of this type of pumps are metallurgical, mining, construction and other industries, while this is not an exhaustive list of areas where it can be useful.

The silt and sand pump can perform the following tasks:

• for cleaning and subsequent filling of trenches (when laying cables, pipelines, etc.);
• removal of sludge, silt, settled dirt, clay, Wastewater, various types of household and industrial waste;
• for cleaning caissons during construction work;
• restoration of coastal zones;
• marble dust pumping;
• for cleaning various kinds of reservoirs;
• extraction of sand from the bottom of the ocean;
• the pump is also suitable for pumping sand from a well and a well;
• this drainage pump can be useful in the destruction of gold mining tailings, to improve the operation of the well in ball mills;
• in sewage treatment plants, for the collection pit of concentration plants, and for the removal of materials from sedimentation tanks.

This pumping equipment is not intended for pumping, pumping water and other works for cleaning in fire and explosion hazardous conditions.

2 What types of sand pumps are there?

The protection of the flow path determines the division of pumps by type, and also demonstrates the maximum allowable size solids that the pump can pass:

1. Gummed (PR) Particle size up to 2 mm.
2. Corundated (PC) Particles with a diameter of 1 mm.
3. Created from wear-resistant cast iron (types P and Pb). Pumps of this kind are capable of passing particles of clay, silt, sand and other substances up to 6 mm in size.

Depending on how the shaft is located, horizontal and vertical pumps are distinguished. Horizontal models include models of types PR, P, PB, as well as PK, while vertical models include PKVP and PRVP.

1. Type P pumps are console horizontal single-stage pumps with an impeller for one-way inlet. These centrifugal samples are used for pumping and pumping products obtained as a result of ore dressing and alumina production. The material from which the solid part is made is wear-resistant cast iron. Solution density up to 1300 kg/m³. Permissible cavitation reserve-height below which the designer cannot fall is 2.0 m.
2. The pump type PB is also horizontal and cantilever. But at the same time, centrifugal pumps of the PB type allow you to have a cavitation reserve of 5.0 m.
3. PR differs from previous models in that the main part of the flow part is lined with corundum on an organic binder.
4. Pumps of PKVP and PRVP types are also cantilever pumps, but at the same time they are vertical. They are submersible with supports outside the pumping of water or other liquid.

The strong part in PRVP consists of wear-resistant rubber, and in PKVP - corundum lining with an organic binder.

2.1 Surface and immersion models

Downhole (in particular, sand) drainage pump in its structure can be both surface and submersible.

In the first case, it is a powerful device with a rotor that pumps water or sludge by sucking it through the working chamber. Such pumps are capable of lifting slurry at a depth of up to 10 meters.

Advantages of surface pumping equipment:

• the ability to transport liquids over sufficiently long distances;
• the possibility of continuous long-term work;
• high degree of reliability, as there is no need for immersion in an aggressive water environment.

Flaws:

• high noise level;
• the impossibility of the pump to work deeper than 10 meters.

As for submersible models, this is equipment designed to pump water directly to a well or from a well. During operation, they are immersed under the very thickness of the water and left there until the completion of the process of pumping the well.

A device of this type is more productive than the previous type. Also, their advantage is the ability to work at more serious depths of a well or well (the exact characteristics depend on the specific manufacturer and model of pumping equipment).

Strengths of submersible pumps:

• small size and weight;
• long-term use without maintenance is possible;
• high performance;
• dry protection;
• it is possible to use in automatic mode for a drainage well;

Which type of pump to choose - surface or submersible - depends on the depth at which you are going to work (the process of cleaning, pumping, etc.), at what speed you need to carry out these works. The issue of price is also important, as immersed samples are more expensive.

2.2 How does a screw well pump work?

The screw borehole drainage pump is a type of submersible pump that specializes in pumping water from a well (hence the name), and is one of the most popular examples of sand pumps.

In these pumps, the working element is a broaching screw or an auger (hence the second name - auger). Systems of this type allow them to be used in wells with high level pollution. Screw design do not allow sand and other small debris to clog anywhere and block the operation of the pump.

And the fact that when the rotor accelerates, the productivity increases, but the outlet pressure remains practically unchanged, makes it possible to use screw pumps not only for pumping and purifying water from a well or well, but also in production, for example, when pumping oil products.

Screw models have a number of advantages, among them:

1. Convenience of design. Such pumps are extremely easy to operate: no special knowledge is required.
2. Ease of repair. Both mechanical seals and stuffing boxes are designed in such a way that if the need arises, they can be replaced in the shortest possible time without using any additional equipment.
3. Absence of vibrations. Screw pumps practically do not create any vibrations, despite high power and a large number of working revolutions. This happens due to the use of rotors with the extraction of hollow parts.
4. Long service life. This advantage "follows" from the previous one: it is precisely from the absence of vibrations that screw pumps are distinguished by a long service life.
