- a helical pump housing, wherein the helical pump housing is axially displaced around an axis, the axis being perpendicular to a first plane;
- a pump inlet, wherein the pump inlet is positioned at a first end of the helical pump housing, and wherein the pump inlet is positioned parallel to the first plane;
- a pump outlet, wherein the pump outlet is positioned at a second end of the helical pump housing, wherein the pump outlet is in a raised position relative to the pump inlet, and wherein the pump outlet is positioned parallel to the first plane;
- a first fluid path, wherein the first fluid path extends from the pump inlet to the pump outlet, wherein a fluid enters the pump inlet in a first direction and is discharged from the pump outlet in a second direction, and wherein the first direction is parallel to the second direction;
- and
- a plurality of flow advancers within the first fluid path.
