Pump Applications

Ballast Pumps

Pumping water in and out of the ballast water tanks during loading, off-loading and trim of the vessel.

Ballast Stripping Pumps

In most cases ballast pumps will not be able to completely empty the ballast water tanks.

Base Oil Pumps

Base oil is a thin oil used in the offshore industry to mix with drilling mud.

Bilge Pumps

After cleaning or repair work inside the engine room, some water or other liquids will run into the bilge wells.

Boiler Feed Pumps

If the boiler is filled with water it may be necessary to force the circulation within the boiler.

Brine Pumps

This could be in a HVAC system or a fish freezing system.

Drill Water Pumps

Drill water is used during the drilling of the oil well.

Emergency Fire Pumps

In the event of fire it is crucial that sufficient water is available at sufficient pressure in order to be able to extinguish the fire.

Fresh Water Cooling Pumps

A lot of equipment onboard a vessel generates heat which needs to be removed.

Inert Gas Cooling

Inert gas is used onboard tankers with flamable cargo.

Lubrication Oil Pumps

The main engine needs a continuous flow of lubrication oil.

Main Engine Preheating Pumps

Main engine preheating pumps are only in operation when the main engine is not running.

Seawater Cooling Pumps

A seawater cooling pump takes suction from the sea chest.

Sewage Pumps

Sewage from the accomodation is handled by a special system.

Sludge/Dirty Oil Pumps

Sludge is residue from purifiers after the lube and fuel oil have been purified.
