A Bench Scale Investigation of Pump-Ejector System at Simultaneous Water and Gas Injection

Abstract

In this paper, a bench study of the pump-ejector system for simultaneous water and gas injection (SWAG) was conducted. For these purposes, a pump-ejector system stand was used. A differential pressure gauge was used to determine the gas flow at the ejector intake. According to the results of differential manometer calibrations, a new formula was obtained which reduces its inaccuracy to 1% at pressures below 0.6 MPa. In addition, according to the pressure-energy diagrams, it was determined that the gas injection with excess pressures in the ejector suction chamber significantly increases the efficiency of the pumping-ejector system overall.
