Cooling Pump Systems
From our API, ASME, DIN, EN and ISO product line-ups, we design and build boosting, circulation and cooling pumps for the energy and petrochemical/refining industries. Whether you need pressure boosting, cooling medium circulation or a complete cooling pump system for a process or offshore duty, we draw on four decades of bespoke design and manufacture to deliver a reliable, well-engineered unit built around your application.
Applications include pressure boosting for main water lift/injection, gas cooler medium circulation, submerged pumps, heat exchangers, utility cooling, and water make-up applications. Pumped fluids include water, water-ethylene glycol mixtures, and many other liquids.
These pump systems are generally skid-mounted, but we offer various options to suit the application and operating location. For instance, a popular choice is a skid base with an environmental enclosure covering the equipment.
Cooling pump applications
Our boosting, circulation and cooling pumps are used across a wide range of energy and petrochemical/refining applications, including:
- Pressure boosting for main water lift and injection
- Gas cooler medium circulation
- Heat exchanger duties
- Utility cooling
- Water make-up
- Submerged pump applications
Each system is configured to the site’s flows, pressures, and operating conditions, onshore or offshore.
Pumped fluids
The range of pumped fluids is extensive. Our cooling pump systems handle water, water and ethylene glycol mixtures, Tri-Ethylene Glycol (TEG) and water mixes, seawater and many other liquids, with materials of construction selected for long-term durability in the intended medium.
Standards, compliance and enclosures
Our pump systems are engineered to meet international hazardous area standards, including ATEX, NORSOK and IECEx. Most cooling pump systems are skid-mounted, with the option of an environmental enclosure to protect the equipment from its surroundings. Beyond protection, an enclosure offers additional benefits, including noise attenuation, heating, lighting, an internal maintenance crane, fire and gas detection systems, and a design that accounts for explosion and blast loads.
Designed, built and tested in the UK
We have our own engineering teams with extensive experience in designing offshore process pump systems for hazardous-area operations, backed by in-house test facilities. Customers are always welcome to witness the F.A.T. testing of their pump units in person, and when travel is impractical, we offer remote F.A.T. viewing, so every system is proven before dispatch.
For an example of our work in this field, read our case study on the offshore cooling pump skid we designed for a power-from-shore project on the Norwegian continental shelf.
