Knowledge of the Types of Pumps, Their Design and Application Is Increasingly Becoming More Important For the Engineer in the Petrochemical Industry.

DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c45861) has announced the addition of Gulf Pump Guides: Progressing Cavity Pumps, Downhole Pumps, and Mudmotors to their offering.

Written by two of the world's foremost authorities and instructors on pumps, this first volume in the new Gulf Pump Guides series covers the design, application and troubleshooting for Progressing Cavity Pumps, Downhole Pumps and Mudmotors:

-- Progressing Cavity Pumps are used in a wide variety of applications, especially suited for thick and heavy fluids including multiphase gas and solids suspension and under relatively moderate temperatures.

-- In oil production, these types of pumps are referred to as Downhole Pumps, operating at depths of several thousand feet, pumping oil, usually mixed with other fluids such as gases and sand, to the surface.

-- Designed to operate "in reverse", or rather, to cause shaft rotation by the supplied differential pressure, such motors are referred to as Mudmotors, referring to drilling mud that provides a hydraulic medium to drive the rotor, lubricate the drill bit and remove the debris.

There is no other volume offering such a comprehensive, easy-to-understand and hands-on coverage of these types of pumps. As they become more and more widely used in the petrochemical industry, and other industries, knowledge of their design and application will become increasingly more important for the engineer.
