Seawater pumps are specialized equipment designed to pump and treat water from seas and oceans. They play an important role in various industries, including shipbuilding, oil and gas production on the seabed, and in providing fresh water to islands and coastal areas. Seawater pumps have special characteristics that allow them to operate in aggressive marine environments, such as high salinity, corrosion and the presence of sand particles. They provide reliable and efficient water transfer for various purposes, whether it is cooling ship engines, supplying fresh water for life support on ships or supporting oil and gas production processes on offshore platforms. When selecting seawater pumps, it is important to consider the requirements for reliability, performance and durability in marine operating conditions, as well as to provide regular maintenance and technical support to ensure smooth operation of the equipment.
The Wanner Hydra-Cell G-Series process pumps are highly efficient and reliable for transferring corrosive, non-lubricating and abrasive liquids, injecting and spraying a wide range of fluids. The pumps are equally suitable for high and low pressure applications. The sealed design reduces maintenance and repair costs and minimises the cost of spare parts compared to other pump types. The pumps are available with SAE, ANSI or DIN flanges and IEC or NEMA motor mounts. The equipment is ATEX certified.
Reduce energy consumption and lower maintenance costs with Wanner Hydra-Cell T & Q series, a triplex multi-diaphragm pump (three-piston) or a quintuplex (four-piston) diaphragm pump. These seal-less and packing-free pumps meet API 674 standards and are designed for heavy-duty applications for process, transfer and injection for the oil and gas industry.
The pumps are used in various enterprises, industries, in the most difficult operating conditions, ensuring smooth fluid transfer. The pumps are suitable for pumping liquids with low and high viscosity, as well as for pumping abrasive, sticky, crushing and foaming liquids. The pumps are particularly suited for handling products with solid particles. The suction capacity is max. 5m/s. The pumps deliver regular, linear, pulsation-free and measured flow. Quiet operation without vibration.
Idrochemical NCM centrifugal pumps comply with the dimensional criteria of ISO 2858 and ISO 5199. The casing and impeller profiles are designed to achieve high hydraulic efficiency and low NPSH.
The NCM line is available in five bearing housing sizes with wide interchangeability of parts, which allows for low maintenance spares.
The MENC-INOX industrial pumps are pumps with a flexible stainless steel impeller. The impeller deforms inside the stainless steel casing to provide fast suction of up to 5 m and constant and accurate liquid transfer. In addition, the low speed makes this pump suitable for pumping liquids and media containing solids that require careful handling. Due to the low speed, pumping is carried out without harmful foaming of the emulsion, the so-called "shear effect".
Despite their simple design and operating principle, Valisi plastic diaphragm pumps are characterised by exceptional performance and reliability. They can be used to pump clean liquids with low viscosity as well as abrasive liquids with medium viscosity. In addition, these pumps can handle large particles without damaging the equipment. And thanks to the pneumatic motor, they can be used in explosive atmospheres.
The modern metal diaphragm pump of VC series features a unique, non-jamming air valve that is simple, robust and reliable, and does not require a separate or mechanically operated pilot valve. The bolted design ensures leak-free pumping of liquids. The pneumatic diaphragm pumps are designed and manufactured to meet the needs of both OEMs and end users. The main characteristics of these pumps are competitive prices, few parts, simple design and maintenance, and high quality. Stainless steel pumps are FDA approved. Aluminium pumps with PTFE diaphragms are explosion-proof and ATEX certified.
The non-self-priming plastic centrifugal hermetic chemical pumps with magnetic coupling of the DB series are one of the most popular chemical pumps in the pump segment with a capacity of up to 50 m3/h. The pumps are ideal for pumping aggressive liquids such as sodium hydroxide and hypochlorite, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, alkalis, various corrosive mixtures, solvent, wastewater with chemical impurities. The concentration of suspended particles should not exceed 1.25 mg/cubic cm.
Pumps for seawater need to be highly resistant to corrosion and capable of handling the high salinity and abrasive nature of the water. Here’s a breakdown of the best types and key factors to consider when choosing a seawater pump:
