Working Principle
Inserting a single helical rotor, precisely machined from high strength steel, in a double internal
helical stator, moulded in elastomer*, creates sealed lenticular cavities. With rotor in rotation,
cavities are progressing along the pump, carrying liquid, gas or solids gently. This makes the PC
Pump best for viscous and abrasive fluids.
As the PCP is a volumetric pump, the flow rate depends solely on the rotor speed.
Operational simplicity
Easy production control
The PCP volumetric technology allows easy adjustment of production according to rotation
speed. With a Variable Speed Drive, the same equipment can cover a 3:1 range in the production
rate.
Steady production
The PCP volumetric, non pulsating and emulsion free system handles steadily well dynamics,
viscosities or free - gas content fluctuations. A PC Pump is amazingly efficient even at low
submergence.
Operating safety
Patented anti-lock and electric braking systems protect site personnel. All moving parts
are caged and protected from direct access. Our systems can be engineered to meet ATEX
specifications.

Artificial Lift HRPCP
HRPCP technology
Older wells often have a high gas-to-oil ratio (GOR) that traditional
downhole pumps are unable to handle. The Hydraulically Regulated
PCP (HRPCP) opens new doors to multiphasic challenges.
The patent consists of adding hydraulic regulators in-between cavities. The self-adjusting technology
provides better pressure and temperature distribution between the first and last cavities.
Successful tests have been conducted with 90% GVF (Gas PCP
void fraction) both in PCM Flow Technology Centre and
on-field.
Range overview
All PCM Moineau pumps are available with HRPCP
technology. Hydraulic regulator design is determined
based on well data.
Pump Suction
The pump’s core technology is built using a patented and unique manufacturing process
that guarantees an optimal rotor-stator fit.
Range overview
PCM Vulcain™ HT Surface 4 PCM Vulcain models in 4” and 4.1/2” series cover up to 1 000 m3/d (6 280 bpd) and 150 bar
layout on a CSS well,

Driveheads
PCM artificial lift driveheads are manufactured in our ISO 9001 facilities; they offer high quality
reliability and meet all safety and environmental standards.
Key features
• Enclosed moving parts to ensure personnel safety
• Balanced lifting points for safety and easier installation
• Minimal oil site contamination and low maintenance design
• High temperature rating for thermal applications
Range
All PCM driveheads feature patented automatic or electric anti-lock backspin control for safe
servicing.
PCM Driver 100/200 HP 24T* (ATEX Certified): uses electrical energy to prevent from back spin,
thanks to a compact gear reducer coupled with a magnetic motor and regenerative variable
frequency drive. The maintenance-free configuration (no belts, no hydraulic manifold) is the
safest drivehead on the market.
Belt Drive VH125 11.6T/18T: compact, high capacity unit, rated for 125 horsepower motor.
Belt Drive VH60 8T: low profile drive with internal assembly that eliminates external brake
lines, reducing the possibility of leaks and environmental contamination.

Accessories
Zero-Leak Oryx Rotary Seal
Available option on all drivehead models, the Oryx rotary seal is low maintenance and
has a zero tolerance for leaks. The early warning seal failure system helps to minimize
environmental impact.
We know how to select the best outdoor configuration, thanks to our extensive experience
in installing VSDs in hostile environments such as deserts and tropical climates.
Motors
PCM provides robust electric or hydraulic motors for smooth operation of the PCP system.
4 or 6-pole motors are available with all levels of protection (Exd, ExnA, Standard), and
ATEX, IEC and NEMA certifications.
PCM motors are designed to handle the total torque absorbed, ambient temperature
and drivehead. Specific options can be integrated for high radial torque transmission
configurations.

Polished rod
Rod string completion is carefully selected depending on your project, well profile, torque
requirements and service tools available on site.
P. Rod coupling
Polished rod
With an optimal surface finish to ensure an appropriate sealing in the stuffing box, PCM offers
Pony rod set 11 to 44 feet length, 1 1/4” and 1 1/2” diameter polished rods.
Rod centralizer
API Sucker rods, pony rods and couplings
PCM recommends Grade D (4 142) Sucker Rods, from OD 3/4” to 1.1/2”, designed for moderate
to heavy loads in non-corrosive or effectively inhibited wells. 1 1/4” and 1 1/2” sucker rods
Sucker rods
feature a modified pin to give more torque resistance for PCP operations. A kit of pony rods –
from 1 to 12 ft – for spacing the rotor/stator configuration.
Non-rotating centralizers
Pony rod
Non-rotating centralizers help prevent rotational wear of the tubing. PCM calculates rod/tubing
side loading and can recommend centralizer placement in deviated or horizontal wells.
Rotor head coupling
Hollow rods
Rotor Hollow rods, produced from seamless pipes with box-box connections, are the best choice
for high-torsion operation. Tubing wear is drastically reduced thanks to external and near
flush joints.

Tubing drain
The tubing drain provides a simple method for draining the tubing string before tripping
out of the well. The opening pressure setting is 2 800 psi, but can be adjusted using
6 shear screws.
Cross over
Pup joint
Collar
Connected to the top of the stator, the pup joint allows the rotor’s eccentric motion.

Torque anchor
PCM recommends the CAM-LOC torque anchor which combines both centralizing
and auto-locking function. Installation and removal are much easier than
a traditional tubing anchor. CAM-LOC repair kit is also available for quick repairs.
Stator
Gas separator
Connected below the torque anchor, the gas separator uses centrifugal forces
Stop bushing to separate gas from the produced liquids, before they enter the pump. There are
2 configurations of the PCP Gas Separator:
