Simple is almost always better. It certainly is when it comes to injection pump control. Using a fully integrated drive system reduces total cost, speeds on-site installation and improves reliability.
The key components of an injection pump system are:
High Pressure Injection Pump
Field signals
Drive
Controller
SCADA communications
There are several ways to simplify installation, operation maintenance and total cost.
Integrate at the factory. By tying all the components together off-site you minimize the time required on-site. The pump will be running sooner, and expensive field service time is minimized.
Test at the factory. The drive system and communications should be thoroughly tested before shipment to the pump location. Only site specific testing should be done on-site. Again, the pump will go online faster.
Use a drive package. A drive package bundles the drive, controller and communications in a single integrated unit. That is simpler. It is pre-integrated and tested. It may have a smaller footprint. It does not require a separate installation services for the logic and the drive, so it saves time and cost. The system is more reliable because one vendor is responsible for all drive system components.
Call one service company. Simplifying the configuration also simplifies maintenance. When there is a problem it is clear who should be called. This results in faster service.
Take a look at the initial costs for traditional component-based systems versus an integrated drive system. In addition to being simpler, fully integrated systems cost less.
Two of the critical pieces of equipment for controlling injection pumps are the variable frequency drive and the PLC.
VFD – controls the pump motor
PLC – controls the logic, which defines what is happening at what rate and when
These two components must inter-communicate and operate together as a system. If they are not already connected before they arrive on site, installation and configuration is required for each device and between them.
Integrated Injection Pump Drive System
In an integrated system, the PLC and VFD come pre-configured and pre-integrated. While this system may cost slightly more than a traditional drive, it eliminates the need for a separate PLC and its integration. Eliminating the separate PLC saves $1,500 to $10,000 for the equipment, another $1,000 in integration and typical startup configuration costs of $2,000.
In addition to the hard dollar savings at installation time, an integrated drive system saves time. There is no need for subsystem integration. The system is up and running in less time. Check out our video comparing costs in a traditional versus integrated drive system.
A User Perspective
Integrated Control Solutions uses integrated drive systems to control the pressure of fluid pumped downhole. If pressure gets too high, they remotely slow the pump. Just that capability is a huge benefit to them. Other solutions have not been able to match the capability provided by the pre-integrated drive system and end up overheating or burning out cards. From their experience, the drive system is “…probably the best drive on the market that I’ve seen, and I’ve seen a lot of them out there.” To learn more, watch this video.
Economic, Commercial, Quality
A pre-integrated drive system operates as one system, observes M4 Equipment president. “When you start to put a lot of pieces together sometimes it doesn’t all fit,” he continues. “If you put it together at the factory, you know installation will go much smoother at the end of the day.”
The HPS drive system interface is designed specifically for Injection Pump Machine. It connects to pressure instrumentation and vibration monitoring through its user interface. “This is a specialized high quality drive for the application, like no other,” he concludes.https://www.boyuwaterproof.com/
