Centrifugal vs vertical turbine pumps

Centrifugal vs vertical turbine pumps

Centrifugal vs vertical turbine pumps

(OP)
Can anyone steer me to a good resource that lists pros and cons of centrifugal and vertical turbine pumps-specific not just general? I'm primarily interested in operations and maintenance, performance, efficiency, space requirements, ease of operation, bearings, motors, wear, repair, maintenance, owner/ operator preference based on ???, etc., with heads and flows of 3oo ft and 5,500 to 7,800 gpm (90 m & 30,000 m^3/day to 42,500 m^3/day) ... I'm in a discussion with another colleague about an upcoming design project. He prefers centrifugals and I prefer vertical turbines. Maybe someone has a refence that actually documents maintenance activities, frequencies, and their associated costs. What about systems that changed out one type of pump for another?(thread164-80905)
