Firewater pumps

Conventional and FPSO offshore production platforms require fire protection, which is typically achieved by a high-pressure firewater ring main supplied by a firewater pump.

Traditionally, firewater pumps are conventional, vertical line-shaft pumps driven by a diesel engine via a 90° gearbox. However, this solution requires intensive maintenance. Through its innovative hydraulic drive fire pump design, Sulzer Pumps brings a number of cost-effective improvements to this key application.
