Whether the need is municipal water supply, gas well dewatering, mine dewatering, or geothermal, the greatest water production rates are achieved with the Centrilift Water Systems (CWS). CWS from Baker Hughes outperform traditional water pumping systems for comparable well diameters.

Baker Hughes has been producing water pumping system components since 1987. We design, manufacture, install, and maintain our pumps, seals, motors, cable, and variable speed drives. This eliminates equipment compatibility issues and allows us to deliver excellent quality control.

The CWS design allows a low profi le wellhead and keeps the motor downhole

instead of on the surface, minimizing noise pollution. This low profi le wellhead reduces visual interference with the local horizon and does not require a special building to accommodate zoning or weather protection. Since the shaft does not run all the way from the pump to the surface, the CWS is tolerant of deviated and horizontal wells. This design enhances fl exibility in drilling plans.

CWS are specifi cally designed and manufactured to operate reliably in harsh, abrasive environments. Typical water well and industrial systems are designed to operate in fl uids with minimal solids and minimal temperature fl uctuations. Our engineers are continually working toward more effi cient pumping system designs with

Applications

Two-pole motor design – Provides up to twice the production

rates compared to a four-pole

motor design

Achieves setting depths greater than 15,000 ft – Allows for development of

deep aquifers

Tolerant of deviated and horizontal wells – Increases volume with a deeper

pump set depth

Low profile wellheads – Minimizes horizon pollution

Centrilift Water Systems Increase production rates with slimline ESP systems

testing in the R&D slurry loop, hot loop, viscosity loop, and gas loop test facilities.

We offer a range of robust water pumping solutions, including electrical submersible pumping (ESP) systems for downhole or pit deployment. Our water pumping systems allow users to dramatically reduce drilling

costs when compared with traditional water well equipment. The Baker Hughes slimline design fi ts smaller diameter wells without sacrifi cing production. With a CWS, a 133/8-in. diameter well can deliver fl ow rates comparable to a typical 20-in. diameter water well.

Contact your Baker Hughes representative today to fi nd out how the Centrilift Water Systems can help you reduce operating and drilling costs in a variety of dewatering, geothermal, and water production applications.

Numerous mines, both open pit and underground operations, have used Baker Hughes to support their dewatering efforts.
