The PC Pump Gas Separator may be run into any progressing cavity well where it is suspect gas content is affecting the production performance. There are four main reasons why you would want to install a Gas Separator in your well.
1.The efficiency of your P.C. Pump is low. This can be caused by significant gas content in the fluids you are lifting.
2.Your PC Pump's working life is short. High gas content can cause the stator to burn up and break apart due to friction without lubrication as the rotator turns inside it.
3.Your pump elastomer experiences blistering when pulled from the hole. Over time gas becomes absorbed under pressure into the elastomer. Upon pulling the pump, the gas will want to escape to the lower pressure. This will cause the elastomer of your pump to blister.
4. You have torquing problems with your pump due to sand content. As the fluids and sand are pulled through the Gas Separator the centrifugal forces they experience combine them into a slurry which is easily producible by the PC Pump.
