Technology Advantage
Motor Design: The Trido actuator motor was
developed by Canadians to be extremely robust in
extreme environments.

Very efficient through an entire speed range

Lower system installation cost - smaller batteries and
panels

Very low inrush on startup - (20%) of typical rotary motor,
long system and battery life

Operates at slow speed for durability, low lifecycle costs and
trouble free operation
Fluid Ends: The Trido system uses standard fluid
ends (conventional pump heads)

Field personnel have experience and tools in servicing and
adjusting conventional fluid ends

New technology fluid ends available for special
Applications (diaphragm sealed)

Trido Actuator Motor Controller
The controller operates in three modes:
• Manual - off/on and speed set from control keys
• Automated pump rate based on input from up to two
sensors
• Full SCADA control of pump rate through MODBUS
connection
• Continuously variable rates 10 to 32.5 strokes per
minute
• Intermittent rates for 1 to 10 strokes per minute
CSA Certification:
• The motor/gearbox is Certified Class 1 Div 1 Groups C & D
• The Motor Controller Certification for Class 1 Div 2
Chemical Savings:
Automation of application and precise injection rates can save as
much as 40% on chemical usage.
Automated Operation:
• The Trido motor controller allows the operator to program a
progressive start.
• For example, with a temperature probe installed:
• program desired pump rate and temperature - 25 strokes at 0ºC
• program start at 10% of maximum rate - 2.5 strokes at 4ºC
• increase to 100% of the rate or 25 strokes at 0°C
• Actuator rate can be tied to flow rate or any measurable variable
Pressure Range of Standard MiniMizer Model :
• 3/16” plunger 6000 PSI
• 1/4” plunger 4000 PSI
• 3/8” plunger 3000 PSI
• 1/2” plunger 1100 PSI
Pressure Range of MaxiMizer Model:
• 1/4” plunger 7000 PSI
• 3/8” plunger 4800 PSI
• 1/2” plunger 2000 PSI
Installed Base:
• Prototype system north of Valleyview, AB Sept 2009 December
2010
• 70 litres per day injecting at 800 to 1200 PSI with no issues.
• May 2011: commercial launch - 20 installed
MiniMizer Model Solar Power - 1/4” Piston
Solar Panel Sizing:
 The graph shows that at 11.5 litres per day (10 strokes/min) and 150 PSI back pressure, the Trido Actuator uses 3.5 watts or 84 watts per
day.
 If the sunlight on the shortest day of the year is 4 hours and the the solar panels are 75% efficient 28 watts of solar panel are required to
recharge the batteries . Assuming 80% efficiency two 12 volt, 75 amp hour batteries deliver 411 hours or 17 days of autonomy.
 Trido recommends two 35 Watt solar panels and two 12 Volt - 75 Amp Hour batteries in this application.
The Environmental Impact
The Trido Actuator first and foremost offers a cost effective method for reducing fuel gas venting. Fuel gas used in driving chemical injection pumps typically makes up 50% of the gas vented in field production. Further, automation can reduce chemical additive use by up to
40%. In many cases the efficiency of the Trido motor allows the operator to power the pump from an existing solar installation used to power
SCADA or other equipment reducing installation costs and the environmental impact of large numbers of lead acid batteries and solar panels.
In new installations, the lower power requirements means fewer and smaller batteries and panels.
