This month, KOSUN dispatched a shipment of CP68-55 centrifugal pumps to Kenya, marking another milestone in the company’s growing presence in the African market. Situated along the East African Rift Valley, Kenya benefits from active geological conditions and boasts vast geothermal reserves, with a theoretical high-temperature geothermal capacity of 10,000 MW, the largest in Africa and the seventh largest worldwide. Geothermal drilling operations in the country typically reach depths of 1,200 to 3,000 meters and generate large quantities of cuttings and highly abrasive, high-solids drilling fluids. Therefore, reliable solids-control systems and wear-resistant centrifugal pumps are critical to ensuring efficient and continuous drilling operations.
The Kenya geothermal drilling project, characterized by long-term continuous extraction, had come to an abrupt halt due to severe wear and failure of the existing sand pumps on-site. With the client facing a tight construction deadline, the client urgently ordered KOSUN’s high-capacity CP68-55 centrifugal pumps. Featuring a flow rate of 200 m³/h and 55 kW of power, this model represents one of the largest offerings in the CP Series and provides an ideal solution for mud tank feed and supply applications in demanding geothermal drilling environments.
