AN Aberdeenshire manufacturer is turning its attention to a new market, after developing a new product for the oil and gas industry.
LFH Engineering, which is based in Ellon, has launched a wellbore testing transfer pump system utilising the experience the firm already has in designing and manufacturing pumps for diesel engine cooling systems.

LFH Engineering claim the new LFH-1000 electric driven centrifugal pump improves flow performance and solids management, processes, overcoming many of the operational difficulties associated with traditional pump systems.
Les Hill, LFH Engineering chief executive officer, said: “Pumps are what we do – and in particular pumps which are designed to safely withstand extreme pressure, temperature and vibration, all of which are seen in the oil & gas environment.
“Our design calculations determine the pumps capability to withstand a 10g shock load which is necessary for the nuclear industry, so we can ensure the performance we offer is fit for the most demanding working conditions.
“The LFH-1000 has been under development for a number of years with input from major well service companies, and we are now in discussion with oil and gas operators and contractors to utilise our pump unit either on or offshore.”
