Pump Replacements
at Five Sites.
At PetroChina’s Shunan Gas Mine, EHIK pumps replaced multistage centrifugal pumps at four gas-field water stations and two pumps at the Rongxian purification plant. Here are the recorded results.

The Recorded Results.
Recorded results from each site.
| Site | Duty and change | Recorded result |
|---|---|---|
| Kong 6 Well · Zigong · 2015 | Gas-field water; motor 90 kW (approx. 121 hp) to 45 kW (approx. 60 hp) | 39.5% less electricity for the same volume of water |
| Wei 001-H1 Well · Leshan · 2014 | Gas-field water; motor 90 kW (approx. 121 hp) to 45 kW (approx. 60 hp) | 23.5% less electricity per cubic metre (approx. 264 US gal) of water |
| Jing 4 Central Station · Luzhou | Gas-field water; multistage pump replaced | 48.3% less electricity per 10,000 m³ (approx. 2.64 million US gal) of water |
| Bao 46 Well · Yuxi | Gas-field water; motor 75 kW (approx. 101 hp) to 45 kW (approx. 60 hp) | A smaller motor for the same duty |
| Rongxian purification plant · 2009 and 2016 | Hot water: motor 15 kW (approx. 20 hp) to 7.5 kW (approx. 10 hp). Solvent circulation: pump replaced | Solvent pump: more than 500 kWh of electricity saved per day |

Leshan Operating Area · 2014
Wei 001-H1 Well
The motor rating went from 90 kW (approx. 121 hp) to 45 kW (approx. 60 hp). Meter readings showed 23.5% less electricity per cubic metre (approx. 264 US gal) of gas-field water.
Luzhou Operating Area
Jing 4 Central Station
An EHIK pump replaced the multistage centrifugal pump. Meter readings showed 48.3% less electricity per 10,000 m³ (approx. 2.64 million US gal) of water pumped.
Yuxi Operating Area
Bao 46 Well
An EHIK pump replaced the multistage centrifugal pump. The motor rating went from 75 kW (approx. 101 hp) to 45 kW (approx. 60 hp).
Rongxian · 2009 and 2016
Rongxian Natural Gas Purification Plant
In 2009, the hot-water pump motor went from 15 kW (approx. 20 hp) to 7.5 kW (approx. 10 hp). In 2016, the new solvent-circulation pump saved more than 500 kWh of electricity a day.
For Your Site
What These Results Mean for You.
How to check what a replacement could change at your site.
Measure the old pump
Record its input power, the volume pumped and the running hours.
Compare at the same duty
Use the same liquid, flow and pressure for both pumps.
Plan the fit
EHIK can make the flanges to match your existing piping; the baseplate and drive are confirmed on site.
