Many wells produce abrasive fluids.
Most commonly, wells producing from poorly cemented or unconsolidated sandstone formations are candidates for abrasion trim pumps. Excessive radial wear is critical in the top and bottom of the pump due to vibration which can be transferred to the seal or other coupled pumps. Excessive Stage down thrust wear which can cut through the impeller shrouds. AR trim in the top bearing and bottom of the unit. Close tolerance non-AR stages.
