WHAT ARE MULTISTAGE PUMPS?

Multistage pumps are designed to transfer clean liquids through several impellers that are built into a series, as opposed to one and are typically useful in installations where a high head is needed. High-pressure applications can be achieved by installing the impellers on the same shaft of the multistage pump or parallel to each other on opposing shafts for higher flow rates. They are primarily useful for energy saving and different ranges of flow/head circumstances. The heavy-duty, multistage pump boasts a variety of construction material options and generously rated bearings meet the demands of both water and industrial applications. CFD-tuned hydraulics and state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques optimise efficiencies and minimise running costs, whilst rigid, durable and fabricated steel baseplates prevent distortion. Dependant on your requirements, the multistage pump can be installed either vertically or horizontally. In situations where floor space is limited, vertical pumps are usually more suitable, whereas the horizontal orientation of a multistage pump can be especially useful in a condition with low headroom, often regarding indoor applications.

HOW DO MULTISTAGE PUMPS WORK?

Multistage pumps work in connected stages. The process starts where the liquid will enter a chamber at the suction line pressure and will then exit at an elevated pressure before entering the next chamber. This process can continue multiple times and the more chambers the multistage pump has, the higher the achievable pressure can be. The number of industries and sectors that can benefit from the multistage pump is virtually endless and there are many examples of where they might be applied.

• Pressure Boosting
• High-Pressure Shower/Spray (Sprinklers or Fire Fighting)
• Heating/Cooling Conditioning
• Reverse Osmosis
• Mine Dewatering
• Snow Making
• Boiler Feed
• Desuperheater Feed

SPP Pumps recently installed a multi-stage multi-outlet pump system within the legendary Flame Towers in Baku, Azerbaijan, protecting the buildings and the people inside from the daily dangers of fire.
