Hydra-Cell® Pro Diaphragm Pumps for Saltwater Disposal
Hydra-Cell Pro positive displacement diaphragm pumps offer an ESG-friendly approach to saltwater disposal applications. Conventional multiplex plunger pumps require exposed plungers to be externally lubricated – which is costly and also exposes the operator to unnecessary environmental risks. More importantly, plunger pumps are “packed” with seals that will fail over time.
With their seal-less design and patented internal lubrication system, Hydra-Cell Pro pumps offer reduced maintenance, with no seals or packing to leak, fail or replace, and require no external plunger lubrication. Available up to 11,000 BPD with pressure capabilities up to 5000 psi, Hydra-Cell Pro pumps are also highly efficient and reduce energy consumption (electricity) when compared to H-Pumps (horizontal multistage centrifugal pumps).
The Challenge
Saltwater Disposal operations are a necessary sector of the oil and gas industry. Produced water extracted with oil and gas typically has no value and needs to be disposed of in an efficient, environmentally-friendly manner.
JJ Tech Solution
Hydra-Cell Pro positive displacement diaphragm pumps are “ESG Friendly” PD pumps and can be up to 30% more efficient than horizontally-mounted multistage centrifugal pumps (H-Pumps). Patented Hydra-Cell technology features a seal-less design and can operate under the most extreme conditions, without the high costs of plunger lubrication oils, packing, or the higher utility costs associated with H-Pumps. Hydra-Cell Pro pumps have zero VOC emissions while in operation and eliminate the environmental issues associated with conventional plunger pumps. Whether disposing of produced water or reinjecting for water flooding, Hydra-Cell Pro pumps are simply the best choice for saltwater disposal/injection.

Diaphragm Pumps for Produced Water Disposal
T Series: For maximum flow rates up to 96 gpm (366.1 l/min)
- The seal-less design separates the power end from the process fluid end, eliminating leaks, hazards and the expense associated with seals and packing
- Low NPSH requirements allow for operation with a vacuum condition on the suction – positive inlet pressure is not necessary
- The design allows operation with a closed or blocked suction line and runs dry indefinitely without damage, eliminating downtime and repair costs
- Diaphragm handles more abrasives with less wear than gear, screw or plunger pumps
- Hydraulically balanced diaphragms handle high pressures with low stress
- Low-pulse, linear flow due to its multiple diaphragm design
Q Series: For maximum flow rates up to 157 gpm (595 l/min)
- The seal-less design separates the power end from the process fluid end, eliminating leaks, hazards and the expense associated with seals and packing
- Low NPSH requirements allow for operation with a vacuum condition on the suction – positive inlet pressure is not necessary
- The design allows operation with a closed or blocked suction line and runs dry indefinitely without damage, eliminating downtime and repair costs
- Diaphragm design handles more abrasives with less wear than gear, screw or plunger pumps
