Customer Testimonial

“During the week of the startup, we had some last-minute hurdles thrown our way, but Valiant was able to adjust to our schedule and get everything taken care of seamlessly. I’m happy to say that our pumps have been running flawlessly for about four weeks now, and I can’t wait to start up the next Valiant pumps.“

Why Retrofit?

Over the course of operation, horizontal pumping equipment may wear down and components need to be replaced or repaired. Individual components can then be installed and configured “retroactively” onto a pre-existing configuration.

Common applications for retrofits include:
Modernizing or upgrading systems
Underperformance
Heat, noise, or vibration irregularities
Responding to component failure
Our Excellence

Optimized for Speed Without Compromise.

Consider our team an extension of your operation. Our Field Service division provides on-site diagnostics and real-time recommendations, while Engineering and Customer Advocates work in close coordination to accelerate performance improvements and reduce operational setbacks.

We provide legacy-compatible replacements, upgrades, and repair services across multiple system components, including multistage pumps, thrust chambers, seals, motors, and variable speed drive control panels and human-machine interfaces, even for systems originally supplied by other manufacturers.

Every site carries its own operating history and economic considerations. Ensuring retrofitted equipment is properly configured and installed requires hands-on expertise and a thorough understanding of both new and existing field technologies.

Our team supports everything from standard replacements to sophisticated engineering upgrades, offering purpose-built retrofits, ongoing maintenance, and precise performance diagnostics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

What is a horizontal pumping system (HPS)?

Icon

An HPS unit is a modular pump system used for surface water injection, pipeline transport, produced water disposal, and other fluid transfer applications.

Why choose a horizontal pump system?

Icon

It’s compact, easy to install, energy-efficient, and requires minimal maintenance.

How is HPS different from vertical pumps?

Icon

HPS units have a horizontal layout, making them easier to service and install in tight spaces and surface applications.
