Dear All

can you please advise me the vendor, which can supply the pump with 1 - 5 cub.m/h flow, 55 barg out and 2 m NPSHA. Assume that we should come up with positive displacement pump.

thanks,
Joisy
 
Centrifugal pumps could be used (depending on the viscosity). For heads of about 3000 ft, special high-speed centrifugals could be used. Best is to contact reputable manufacturers to ask for quotations.
 
joisy, Do a web search for piston pumps. There are many styles of multi stage units that can get you into pressure and flow range you're looking for.

joisy,

Another alternative centrifugal type is the Rotary Pitot Tube type which is manufactured by Roto-Jet, which I think is owned by Weir Pumps now.

Assuming clean fluid, no solids, a Goulds 3935 centrifugal multistage is a good pick. Very competitive in this flow range and cheaper than a recip style.
