Lamnaflo Suction Flow Control System
The unique design of the Lamnaflo Suction Flow Control System reduces water inflow velocities by evenly distributing the flow over a much larger area of the well. The slower moving water cannot pick up and carry sand into the pump intake and water distribution system. This eliminates problems normally created by sand intrusion. Water output rates are maintained at the pump's maximum GPM potential.
Increase Sand Free Water Output
The Lamnaflo Suction Flow Control System dissipates a pump inlet suction energy by drawing water from a significantly larger portion of the water producing zone of a well. This reduces water velocity, eliminates turbulent water flow, and produces more efficient laminar flow from the formation. The slower laminar flow has insufficient energy to erode formations or entrain sand/silt particulates. Formation debris is left undisturbed resulting in sediment free water being produced. This improvement in efficiency may also result in a reduction in drawdown. Following a prescribed development process a well can achieve a maximum flow rate while permanently eliminating sand-related problems.
4.1
Reduce Overall Operating Costs
Total well operating costs are reduced in two important areas. Eliminating sand in the withdrawn water reduces wear on the pump and other well equipment extending the useful service life. Water Storage facilities and distribution systems problems are also substantially reduced when sand production is eliminated. The Lamnaflo Suction Flow Control System increases well efficiency by reducing the precipitation of minerals. Reduced formation plugging has resulting in energy savings as high as 20% or more over time. The Lamnaflo system replaces Sand separators saving as much as 10-psi pressure loss.
4.2
Extend Well Life
Problems such as sand erosion of the well screen, or mineralogical plugging of the formation can be minimized or eliminated. The Lamnaflo System is not a filter and has no moving parts; therefore, it solves the problems associated with sand intrusion, improves well performance and increases well and equipment life without requiring any maintenance of its own.
4.3
Reduced Cost of Ownership
The elimination of sand wear on the pumping equipment will extend the pumps operational life cycle. In addition, the slow laminar flow from the formation will minimize any pressure drop as the water enters the well, reducing any precipitation of minerals, and extending the time between rehabilitations.
