The new Hydra-Cell T80 Series pumps are packing-free and designed to replace packed plunger pumps in oil and gas applications. Featuring a sealless diaphragm design, the T80 Series pumps eliminate emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), cleanup and disposal costs of packed-pump leakage, the need for external lubrication and maintenance and plunger wear problems associated with packing. The pumps can run dry without damage, will operate with a closed or blocked suction line and can pump abrasive fluids. The first model of the series, the T8045, has a flowrate capacity of 1,543 bbl/d (45 gal/min) at pressures of 3,000 psi. — Wanner Engineering, Inc., Minneapolis, Minn.
