Protect Your Artificial Lift Investment with Proven Sand Management Solutions
Extend Equipment Life. Minimize Downtime. Maximize Production.
Sand fallback is one of the most common and costly causes of artificial lift failure. It leads to broken shafts, excessive stator wear, and stress on electrical systems. That’s why operators around the world trust the SandGuard® solution to deliver fail-safe sand protection that keeps their systems running longer and more efficiently.
Industry-Leading Sand Protection for ESP and PCP Systems
The SandGuard has set the standard for combating sand fallback in ESP systems. Now, the PCP SandGuard brings that same trusted performance to progressive cavity pump (PCP) applications, explicitly engineered to meet the demands of through-tubing installations.
Key Benefits of the PCP SandGuard
- Complete Isolation of Sand Fallback: Prevents sand from re-entering the pump during shutdown, protecting internal components and extending equipment life.
- Effective Abrasion Avoidance & Diversion: Our advanced diverter system redirects sand into a dedicated chamber, shielding the stator and rotor from abrasive wear.
- Self-Cleaning on Startup: Built-in self-flushing features ensure a clean, smooth start every time—reducing the risk of clogging and performance loss.
- PCP Rotor Passage Through Tool: Allows the rotor and coupling (up to 2” in diameter) to pass through the tool without pulling the entire string—saving time and reducing intervention costs.
- Simple, Quick Installation: Designed for ease of use in the field, the PCP SandGuard streamlines installation and retrieval, minimizing rig time and labor.
- Comprehensive System Protection: Reduces the risk of broken shafts, excessive stator wear, and electrical stress, delivering longer run life and lower total cost of ownership.
Engineered for Through-Tubing Installations
The PCP SandGuard is purpose-built to meet the demands of through-tubing PCP installations. Its expandable diverter system accommodates larger diameters during installation and then automatically conforms to the rod for optimal sand diversion during production.
