Large Pump Mnufacturer

Large Pump Mnufacturer

(OP)

We have 3 large sea water pumps made by KSB and each is capable of delivering 39000 m3/hr . Now we are looking for a spare set and I am wondering whether it is possible to find alternative manufacturer . Since I am an electrical engineer , I do not know what information is required by manufacturer to make a pump that suite and fit in the same area and purpose .

Regards,

flow rate, total dynamic head, liquid properties, NPSH available usually does it

Thanks for reply . Aside from KSB and Thermomecanecca who else can manufacture large pump drive ?

RE: Large Pump Mnufacturer

Goulds makes some large pumps - up to 500,000 gpm (114,000m3/h).  I think they are ITT Industries now.  Try http://www.gouldspumps.com/

RE: Large Pump Mnufacturer

ITT (Goulds), Flowserve, and KSB are the big 3.  Depending on what style of pump these are, there will be other players.

Are these split case, or vertical turbines?

Thank you all  

RE: Large Pump Mnufacturer

I believe you ought to take a look at Sulzer pumps as well.  Google the words mixed+flow+pumps and see what it brings you.

If I had this to do, Sulzer and Flowserve (they have the legacy Byron Jackson line) pumps.  I never would have thought of Goulds as a player in the league of those two.

RE: Large Pump Mnufacturer

As others have noted, Sulzer, Flowserve, KSB, Goulds should be considered.

I'd also add ClydeUnion (Union and Weir pump product lines) and Ruhrpumpen to my list in order to explore all options.

RE: Large Pump Mnufacturer

rmw: ITT has the allis-chalmers pump line.

Thanks for that.  I had lost track of where they had gotten off to.  I don't think to look at ITT.  I'll give you a star for that one since I learned somthing.
