Contemporary water treatment entails filtration, chemical injection, and, in some parts of the world, desalinization by reverse osmosis. Each of these, or combinations of these operations, requires special pumps with widely varying capacities and pressures. Flowserve can offer more equipment and provide the necessary expertise to select the right pumps and systems to meet exact service requirements.

Configurations from multistage centrifugal to vertical turbines are designed and built to help treat and move water efficiently and cost effectively. Capacities to 160 000 m3/h (700 000 gpm); heads to 1060 m (3500 ft).

Water Treatment

These varied and demanding services require a broad array of pump designs and types. Flowserve pumps are offered for these applications:

• Low-lift
• Sampling
• Plant Water
• Wash Water
• High Service

Pump Types

• Horizontal, axially split, centrifugal
• Standard, end-suction, centrifugal
• Vertical, wet-pit
• Overhung, ring section, multistage
• Ring section, multistage
• Auxiliary

Distribution

Transporting water to treatment plants is typically handled by horizontal split-case pumps and vertical turbine pumps. These proven, robust pumps are capable of continuous or intermittent operation over a wide range of flow and pressures required to meet system loads.

Pump Types

• Horizontal, axially split, centrifugal
• Standard, end-suction, centrifugal
• Ring section, multistage
• Overhung, ring section, multistage
• Submersible motor pump
• Short-coupled, vertical turbine
