Structure Optimization and Strength Analysis of CBM Special Anti-Clogging Drainage Pump

Abstract

There are abundant coal bed methane resources in China, and recovery technology is considered a very important part in the development of coal bed methane. At present, coal bed methane production areas are still adopting the tubing liner pump, but because of the special working environment, in the pumping process, the fine breeze (sand) and other solid particles entering into the pump barrel is likely to cause the pump stuck, pipe string buried by sand and other issues. In view of the above problems, based on the ordinary tubing liner pump, through the increase of the anti-litter bypass style traveling valve housing and fixed valve housing, outside liner jacket, sand reservoir and liquid in tee joint measures we developed a new type of CBM special anti-clogging drainage pump and adopted finite element analysis software ANSYS to complete key parts of strength calculation. The use of this pump will effectively reduces the blocking of fine coal particles (sand) and other solid particles, decreases the pump's checking operation and workload of sand bailing, consequently improves efficiency, reduces overall operating costs.
