 Press Releases

  • San Diego, CA (March 12, 2026) — Discflo Pumps, a leader in advanced disc pump technology for difficult fluids, will exhibit at the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) 2026, taking place May 4–7 in Houston, Texas. OTC is one of the world’s premier gatherings for offshore energy professionals, bringing together industry leaders, engineers, and technology innovators from around the globe.

    At this year’s conference, Discflo Pumps will highlight its unique disc pump technology, engineered to handle some of the most difficult fluids encountered in oil and gas operations — including abrasive slurries, high-solids mixtures, viscous hydrocarbons, and multiphase fluids containing oil, water, gas, and solids.

    Unlike conventional centrifugal or positive displacement pumps, Discflo pumps operate using a boundary layer and viscous drag principle. Fluid moves through the pump between rotating discs, allowing solids and abrasive particles to pass through with minimal contact with internal components. This non-impinging design reduces wear, prevents clogging, and delivers reliable performance in harsh operating environments.

    The technology has been successfully deployed across a wide range of oil and gas applications, including:

    • Drilling mud and drill cuttings transfer
    • Multiphase crude pumping
    • Oil sludge and slop oil transfer
    • Offshore drilling fluid circulation
    • Produced water and oily water systems
    • Tank transfer and heavy crude handling

    Industry operators rely on Discflo pumps to improve uptime, reduce maintenance costs, and maintain reliable flow in applications where conventional pumps struggle or fail.

    “Oil and gas operations often involve fluids that contain solids, gas entrainment, high viscosity, and abrasive materials,” said Nicholas Ruiz, Vice President of Business Development at Discflo Pumps. “Our technology was specifically designed to solve these challenges while minimizing maintenance and downtime.”

    Visitors to OTC 2026 are invited to stop by the Discflo booth to learn how disc pump technology is helping operators improve reliability and reduce lifecycle costs in demanding offshore and upstream environments.

  • San Diego, CA (March 12, 2026) — Discflo Pumps continues to demonstrate the effectiveness of its disc pump technology across a wide range of oil and gas applications, with numerous installations delivering significant improvements in reliability, efficiency, and operating costs.

    Through decades of field installations, Discflo pumps have been successfully applied in challenging environments where traditional pumps often experience excessive wear, cavitation, or failure.

    For example, at a refinery in Utah, operators struggled with pumping crude oil from tanker trucks due to fluctuating viscosity and air entrainment. Conventional pumps repeatedly failed and required frequent repairs. After installing a Discflo pump, the facility eliminated breakdowns and saved $30,000–$40,000 annually in replacement parts alone, while also eliminating costly downtime and maintenance labor. 

    In another application in Venezuela’s Orinoco Oil Belt, a pumping station handling multiphase oil and gas streams faced frequent shutdowns when using conventional pumps. After installing Discflo pumps, the system achieved 98% reliability with no breakdowns after two years of operation, helping maintain production levels in a facility producing approximately 80,000 barrels per day.

    Discflo technology has also proven effective in offshore drilling operations. On the Maersk Innovator offshore platform in the North Sea, Discflo pumps were selected to handle drilling mud with a specific gravity of 2.0 and viscosities approaching 5,000 cP. The pumps delivered reliable performance in mud mixing, charging, and de-siltering operations, leading to additional units being ordered for a second platform.

    Independent testing has further validated the technology. Industry tests confirmed that Discflo pumps can handle solids concentrations approaching 90% by volume while passing solids up to two inches in size, making them ideal for demanding drilling and solids-handling applications. 

    Because Discflo pumps move fluid through laminar, non-impinging flow, they minimize wear on internal components while allowing solids, entrained gases, and viscous fluids to pass through the pump without clogging.

    These real-world results have made Discflo pumps a trusted solution for operators seeking improved reliability and lower lifecycle costs in oil and gas systems.

    Visitors to OTC 2026 are invited to stop by the Discflo booth to learn how disc pump technology is helping operators improve reliability and reduce lifecycle costs in demanding offshore and upstream environments.

  • SAN DIEGO, CA — March 12, 2026 — As oil and gas operations increasingly handle complex multiphase fluids containing oil, water, gas, and solids, operators are seeking pump technologies capable of delivering reliable performance under these difficult conditions.

    Traditional pump designs often struggle with multiphase fluids due to cavitation, erosion, gas locking, or rapid wear when solids are present. These issues can lead to frequent maintenance, production losses, and higher operating costs.

    Discflo Pumps has developed a unique solution to these challenges through its disc pump technology, which uses parallel rotating discs to move fluid via viscous drag rather than mechanical impingement.

    Because the pump does not rely on tight tolerances or direct contact between solids and moving parts, it can handle: 

    • Abrasive sand and solids
    • Gas-entrained fluids
    • Highly viscous crude oils
    • Variable multiphase mixtures

    The technology has been successfully applied in upstream production facilities, drilling operations, offshore platforms, and refining environments.

    In multiphase booster applications, Discflo pumps have demonstrated the ability to transport fluids containing oil, water, gas, and sand without clogging or excessive wear, while maintaining stable flow conditions.

    The open internal geometry of the disc pump allows solids to pass through the pump with minimal interaction with internal components, dramatically reducing wear compared to conventional pump technologies.

    As operators continue to seek ways to reduce downtime and increase production efficiency, advanced pumping technologies capable of handling multiphase fluids are becoming increasingly important.

    At OTC 2026, Discflo Pumps will share insights and real-world examples demonstrating how disc pump technology is helping operators overcome some of the most challenging fluid-handling problems in the energy industry.

  • Discflo Disc Pump with Patented Dispac Design

    Discflo Corporation was founded in 1982 and quickly became an industry leader in the hard-to-pump market and throughout the world. Discflo disc pumps provide non-impingement pumping, which means less wear and more protection for your product.

    The Discflo disc pump is not a centrifugal pump, positive displacement, gear, or lobe pump. Unique in design, our disc pump bridges the performance gaps and is capable of out-performing most conventional pumps in many applications. A boundary layer of fluid molecules collects and rotates with the discs. This creates a natural, protective buffer that separates the pump from the fluid.

    Through viscous drag, fluid is pulled through the pump without impingement. The boundary layer attracts and drags successive layers of fluid molecules into layered flows of parallel streams. This is the simple principle of viscous drag, and, in the Discflo disc pump, it is a powerful dynamic force that “pulls” the fluid through the pump in a smooth, laminar, non-turbulent flow. Rotary discs provide non-impingement pumping, which means less wear and more protection for your product.

    The non-impingement and laminar flow pumping of our disc pump is similar to flow through an ordinary pipe. The layers of fluid at the walls are stationary (relative to the rotating discs), creating a protective boundary layer. Viscous drag pulls layers into flows of smooth laminar streams. With no impingement device to damage your product, and a boundary layer of protection for the pump, the Discflo disc pump effectively eliminates the root cause of clogging, cavitation, excessive wear and product damage that plague the performance of conventional pumps. Discflo is reliable, efficient, and highly cost effective in handling tough applications. It simply lasts longer, requires fewer (if any) repairs, and doesn’t damage your product.
