Surface Pumping Systems

Product line

GE imagination at work

We know that the life cycle of industrial pumps
are often at the center of your decision making
process. That is why GE is your partner for the long
run. We carefully consider the life-cycle operating
efficiencies, power consumption, environmental
impact and reliability of our pumps to ensure they
will meet your needs now and in the future.

Improved surface pumping solutions

Trouble-free service

Pre-packaged units

The modular design makes SPS units suitable for a wide
variety of applications, from routine water injection to
mine dewatering and leaching operations. The GE SPS
pump is very reliable, highly-efficient and easily modified in the field, saving you maintenance time.

The drive for long-lasting, highly-reliable, environmentally-friendly pumping solutions has led many customers to appreciate our SPS™ Surface Pumping Systems.
GE’s SPS pumping systems provide versatile, low-maintenance alternatives to many high-speed integral geardriven centrifugal (OH6), positive displacement (PD) and
vertical-turbine pump (VTP) models.
Our SPS pumps are available in gas, electric or dieselpowered models and can handle up to 2,500 gpm
(85,000 BFPD) and discharge pressures up to 6000 psi.
SPS systems are delivered to the job site pre-assembled—only requiring suction flange, discharge flange
and power hookups. The Easily Modified SPS Frame
(EMF™) is pre-wired with instrumentation and cabling
terminated in a central junction box. This proprietary
frame, paired with the versatile design of our pumps,
allows for easy on-site installation and maintenance
with minimal site preparation.

The SPS pump is designed for years of trouble-free
operation. There are no V-belts or packing to service.
Routine maintenance consists of a quarterly lubricant
change and component check. SPS units generate little
to no vibration-related wear or stress on piping components and they are available with a variety of mechanical seal options (including API 682 seals).

Pump

Mechanical Seal

Thrust Chamber

Multi-stage centrifugal pump with industry-leading,
high-efficiency designs. The pump is supplied as an
easily replaceable module. Additional pump elements
can be added or “re-staged,” if required for changing
duty conditions. Most pumps are “mixed flow” design
for enhanced abrasion resistance, improved gas handling and higher efficiency.

All units feature an optimized mechanical seal and stub
shaft with silicon carbide faces that operates at suction
pressure. Seals are available up to 3000 PSI. Options
include API-682 cartridge type, as well as API flush and
quench plans. The patented Front Pull-Out™ design
allows for rapid change-out of the seal and/or stub
shaft without disturbing the bearing frame and flexible motor coupling, thus avoiding realignment or the
spacer coupling requirement.

The bearing-frame thrust chamber is an easilyinterchangeable module that is compatible with other
SPS units regardless of the pump size. It features a
low number of rotating parts for long, trouble-free life,
requires minimal maintenance, optimizes oil dispersion
and reduces operating temperatures using an oil-ring
lubrication system, and includes a thermocouple to
provide temperature monitoring and shut-down protection. Labyrinth shaft seals protect the internals from
the environment without wearing the shaft surface.

Pipe-work Height
The fixed pipe-work height minimizes pipe-work changes in the event of possible system reconfigurations.
Should the pump or motor require changing for any
reason; the pump, bearing frame, suction, discharge
and motor shaft are maintained at the same level.

Frame Extensions
Discharge Head
Standard flanges are ANSI-B16.5 class 300 through
2,500, lap joint type to allow for alignment with
pipe work. Other connections/ flange standards
are available.

The EMF Frame can easily accommodate changing
duty conditions or the re-deployment of an existing
SPS unit for an entirely different application. Additionally, where limited site access (i.e., underground mines)
exists, multiple component skids can be provided to
facilitate portability and assembly.

Benefits

Offshore Production
Offshore fields account for approximately 35% of global
oil and gas production. This is expected to increase as we
continue to see growth in deepwater, remote and marginal fields. In these offshore applications, where pumps
are used to inject, transfer and boost produced fluids,
equipment reliability is critical to avoid downtime,
increase run-life and improve operating efficiency.
Due to the requirements of deeper and further offshore
applications, we developed a process to customize highly-reliable long service life pumping systems to meet
your ship-and platform mounted pumping needs. These
SPS systems maintain your reliability expectations of GE,
while providing flexibility and responsiveness to application changes.

Mining, Municipal, Industrial and Geothermal
Effective water management is critical in mining and salt dome leaching
operations. GE’s SPS pumps are available to the MMIG industry as portable
skid-mounted units, trailer-mounted units and as multiple pumps in fixed
installations at main pump stations and can be used in the
following applications:
•	

Seawater transfer (to mines for processing)

•	

Mine de-watering

•	

Cavern (salt-dome) leaching

•	

Open pit and shaft mining

•	

Borehole mining

Mine Water Management

Mine operators must be able to manage water throughout the operation and
quickly alleviate problems as they occur. Mine dewatering is usually undertaken to ensure the stability of mine walls during and after excavation, or to
optimize mine production and increase operational efficiencies.

Salt dome leaching/brine water (North America)

In many mines, the amount of water that must be pumped exceeds the
mines’ water consumption requirements. In this case, a majority of the
excess water is discharged to our surface SPS water pumping systems, reinjected into aquifers, applied to crop land, or piped to power plants.

Cavern Leaching

There are numerous cavern leaching and/or formation jetting (borehole mining) applications. For example, a salt dome is a type of structural dome
formed when a thick bed of water-soluble mineral sediments (mainly salt or
halite) intrude vertically into surrounding rock strata, forming a diapir.
In salt dome leaching processes, our SPS pumps are frequently used to circulate water, absorbing the salt. A large underground cavern is formed after the
salt has been leached and the water is removed. GE’s SPS pumps are also
used to re-inject materials such as oil, natural gas, hydrogen gas or even hazardous waste into the empty caverns for storage.
