Discflo Pumps Solve Multiphase Pumping Challenges
SAN DIEGO, CA — March 12, 2026 — As oil and gas operations increasingly handle complex multiphase fluids containing oil, water, gas, and solids, operators are seeking pump technologies capable of delivering reliable performance under these difficult conditions.
Traditional pump designs often struggle with multiphase fluids due to cavitation, erosion, gas locking, or rapid wear when solids are present. These issues can lead to frequent maintenance, production losses, and higher operating costs.
Discflo Pumps has developed a unique solution to these challenges through its disc pump technology, which uses parallel rotating discs to move fluid via viscous drag rather than mechanical impingement.
Because the pump does not rely on tight tolerances or direct contact between solids and moving parts, it can handle:
- Abrasive sand and solids
- Gas-entrained fluids
- Highly viscous crude oils
- Variable multiphase mixtures
The technology has been successfully applied in upstream production facilities, drilling operations, offshore platforms, and refining environments.
In multiphase booster applications, Discflo pumps have demonstrated the ability to transport fluids containing oil, water, gas, and sand without clogging or excessive wear, while maintaining stable flow conditions.
The open internal geometry of the disc pump allows solids to pass through the pump with minimal interaction with internal components, dramatically reducing wear compared to conventional pump technologies.
As operators continue to seek ways to reduce downtime and increase production efficiency, advanced pumping technologies capable of handling multiphase fluids are becoming increasingly important.
At OTC 2026, Discflo Pumps will share insights and real-world examples demonstrating how disc pump technology is helping operators overcome some of the most challenging fluid-handling problems in the energy industry.
