Election of pump

Election of pump

Election of pump

(OP)
My issued is the following:

There is a concrete pit with the following dimentions:
Heigh: 7 meters
Widt: 5.5 meters
Large: 12 meters

the features of the pump are: This pumps are going to be selected.
number of pumps: 3
Flow: 3500 gpm.

I do not know what type of pump can I choose whether a submersible pump, vertical turbine pump, or a can pump due to the application. what kind of problems I could have if I select any of these.

This pumps are going to pump seawater.
I hope you could help me, I"ll appreciate your kindness.

RE: Election of pump

Please clarify large?
Is 3500 total flow or each pump?
Can pump NO.
Either submersible or vertical turbine could be used but more detail would be needed for best selection.

RE: Election of pump

Please tell more details such as Flow rate,Pump Head ,any gravel or sand in the seawater ?

RE: Election of pump

(OP)
3500 gpm for each pump, Head of pump is 25 m, pressure of discharge is 30 psig.
In the concrete pit there is a system io recolect the sand inmersed and some filters in order to prevent waste and damage of the pump
why not a can pump.
I would like to know prices of these pumps, which od these would be the cheapest.

RE: Election of pump

Selection of the best pump will depend on a proper engineering study of the application.
How about if you pay me a consultancy fee and I will make the selection for you, arrange pricing, delivery
and installation.
