Framo Equipment
Submerged Ballast Pumps
Hydraulically driven centrifugal ballast pumps installed inside double-side ballast tanks, eliminating the pump room.
Description
Framo submerged ballast pumps are installed inside the double-side ballast tanks. Combined with a submerged cargo pump in each cargo tank, this makes the pump room unnecessary and frees space for cargo.
Key features
- Centrifugal pump mounted inside an air separator and protected by a cofferdam
- Fail-safe design keeps the impeller always immersed
- Air ejector with automatic start/stop makes the pump self-priming
- Stainless steel construction with seawater-resistant bronze impeller
- Motor and bearings lubricated and cooled by the hydraulic drive oil
- Individual capacity up to 3,000 m3/h
- Can be connected to any ballast water treatment system
Applications
Standard on modern tankers and FPSOs.
