Industry Challenges — and How Tesla Disk Pumps Solve Them
Oil and gas operations deal with some of the harshest fluids and conditions in the world. From abrasive drilling mud to corrosive chemicals, these challenges wear out most pumps fast. Tesla Disk Pumps™ are designed to keep your system running—with less maintenance, longer seal life, and better flow under pressure.
Tough, abrasive fluids
Drilling mud and slurry often contain sand, solids, and cuttings that clog and damage standard pumps. Tesla Disk Pumps use a smooth, clog-resistant rotor system that keeps abrasive materials moving—without impellers or shear points.
Seal wear and frequent breakdowns
Standard pumps struggle with high loads and pressure spikes. Tesla Disk Pumps create minimal stress on seals and bearings, resulting in longer life, less maintenance, and fewer unexpected shutdowns.
Meeting industry standards (API 610)
Oil and gas operations often demand API 610 reliability. Tesla Disk Pumps offer compliant configurations built from heavy-duty materials and with the sealing options needed for regulated environments.
Corrosion and chemical attack
The fluids in oilfield operations can be chemically aggressive. That’s why Tesla Disk Pumps are available in corrosion-resistant metals like CD4, ASTM A532, and 316 stainless steel—customized for your process.
Application Highlights Across the Value Chain
From the drill site to the refinery, Tesla Disk Pumps™ support critical oil and gas processes at every stage. Whether it’s moving thick slurries, protecting delicate catalysts, or handling gas-laden streams, our pumps are built to perform—no matter where they’re installed.
| Application Area | Benefits | How Tesla Pumps Excel |
|---|---|---|
| Upstream Drilling | Move contaminated drilling mud and slurries | Handles abrasive, gas-entrained drilling fluids without clogging or impeller damage |
| Mud Line & Cuttings Handling | Maintain integrity of cuttings and fluids | Operates smoothly under harsh conditions; retains solid integrity |
| Catalyst & Hydrocarbon Transfer | Prevent product degradation or contamination | Smooth laminar flow preserves sensitive materials and optimizes transfer |
| Heavy Crude & Slurry Transport | Reduce wear and seal downtime | Laminar flow and low NPSH usage minimize mechanical stress |
| Refinery Processing | Handle multiphase, viscous, or gas-laden streams | Dry-run and dead-head capabilities keep operations stable, even under variable loads |
Why Tesla Disk Pumps Stand Apart
Shear-free pumping ensures delicate catalysts or hydrocarbons stay intact.
Non-clogging disk rotor design handles high-solids and multiphase fluids better than conventional impeller pumps
Dry-run and dead-head resilience prevents costly shutdowns
Material flexibility meets diverse application needs across oil & gas services
Low NPSH requirements suit weak suction systems common in upstream wells
Minimal maintenance burden reduces total cost of ownership and keeps plants online longer
Real-World Impact
Tesla Disk Pumps™ don’t just perform better in theory—they make a measurable difference in the field. By reducing maintenance needs and minimizing downtime, they help operators lower costs and keep production moving. Whether it’s fewer seal failures or improved flow in difficult conditions, these pumps deliver real results in real-world operations
