2. They have few moving parts and therefore tend to have greater
onstream availability and lower maintenance costs than positive
displacement pumps
4. There are no close clearances in the fluid stream and therefore they
can handle liquids containing dirt, abrasives, large solids, etc
Disadvantages
1. There are only practical for achieving high pressure when they are large
flow rates.
4. For a given speed the flow rate is constant regardless of head. The
pump is limited only by the power of the prime mover and the strength
of the pump parts
Disadvantages
3. Because of the pulsating flow and pressure drop through the valves
they require larger suction pressures( net positive suction head) at the
suction flange to avoid cavitation
Disadvantages
Disadvantages
1. they have close clearance that require that the liquids being
pumped have a lubricating value, be non corrosive, contain few
solid
Compressor
1. Reciprocating compressor
Advantage:

4. Large horsepower units mean that outage has large effect on process
or pipeline capabilities
3. Rotary Compressor
2. No pulsating flow
3. Less space
Disadvantages
4. No pulsating flow

Electric Motors
The selection for electric motors for oil field application is the
same as for other industry. Once exception maybe the selection of motors
for areas where electric power is self-generated. It is cautioned that NEMA
Design B motors( normal starting torque) mayube not be suitable for
application requiring high starting torque such as positive displacement
pumps. A motor used in standby operation mode should be equipped with a
space heater to keep the motor windings dry. In classified areas there space
heaters must meet the surface temperature requirement of the specific
hazardous area
