Gardner Denver Petroleum & Industrial Pumps, a solutions provider for the drilling, well servicing and frac pumps market, has introduced the new Thunder 5,000 HP Quintuplex pump. The pump is designed for dual fuel gas engines, electric motors, diesel engines and gas turbine direct drives.

Edward Bayhi, vice president and general manager of the Petroleum & Industrial Pump Division, said, “The Thunder 5,000 HP Quintuplex pump has successfully made it through validation testing. Crucially, operators can now Source: Gardner Denver Petroleum & Industrial Pumpssubstantially decrease their consumable cost and fatigue cycles due to the pump’s long stroke advantage. This means slower operating speeds can be maintained, resulting in longer consumable life and reduced fatigue cycles. The same flow rate can be achieved with smaller plungers, reducing operating load on the pump, leading to extended pump life and less downtime.”

Gardner Denver constructs pumps that contain the total cost of ownership due to their rugged, modern designs, which improve serviceability in the field. With stainless steel construction and innovative geometry designed to minimize stress, the Thunder 5,000 HP Quintuplex pump features a range of next generation fluid end technology. The pump’s 11 in stroke length meets or exceeds the pressure and flow output of high rod load/short stroke (8 in) pumps, and can increase consumable life by 37%.

The company said that the new pump is offered in combination with Redline Packing, the critical seal system, which improves performance in harsh conditions, extends maintenance intervals, reduces downtime and ultimately increases profit margins for users.
