Cyclone Pump System
The answer for pumping wells with damaging solids
The Cyclone Pump system represents a true advancement in down-hole pump technology. Sand, grit, iron sulfide, and other fines which normally contaminate the produced oil and water can now quickly pass through the pump assembly. No longer are residual concentrations of these particulates allowed to collect between barrel and plunger.
Clearance between conventional pump plungers and barrels permit some fluid bypass, or slippage between these surfaces. Within this void space, sand, formation fines, and other particulates can accumulate. During the normal up-and-down motions of the plunger, these accumulations cause rapid wear, usually in the form of vertical scoring, to both the plunger and barrel surfaces. Moreover, frictional forces generated by these accumulations cause excessive stresses to be generated throughout the pump and rod-string which often result in a stuck pump, automatic shut-down of the pumping unit, or a parted rod string.
Repairs necessitated by the above forms of damage, plus revenues lost during resulting downtime, cost the oil and gas industry tens of millions of dollars each year. By incorporating the Cyclone Pump system within the pump assembly, stuck plungers and premature wear of barrel and plunger surfaces can be eliminated. Costly well servicing and pump replacements can be reduced to a minimum.
How is this possible? During the down-stroke the Cyclone Tool, along with the Cyclone Seat Plug forces any entrained particulates collected within the space between barrel and plunger inward through the axial evacuation ports and into the center of the plunger. Here, they commingle with other fluids entering the pump and are displaced into the tubing. Throughout the up-stroke particulates are also collected within the tapered neck of the Cyclone Tool, where, during the downstroke, they are flushed upward and enter the tubing through the Cyclone Top Adapter.

* Eagle's Cyclone Adaptor is NOT a barrel plunger. The Cyclone Adaptor is a solid remediation tool, only to be used in conjunction with:
1. API Plunger - Eagle Dual 92 Plunger
2. Eagle Sand Check
Failure to do so may cause premature failure of pump or unsatisfactory results.
