Ruhrpumpen´s Spotlight: February 2025

The natural gas that powers homes, fuels industries and generates power is delivered daily through a robust network of pipelines. The Natural Gas, LNG, and Simple or Combined Cycle Power Generation industries provide confidence in design and equipment specifications to maximize performance and operations.

Ruhrpumpen’s principles are mirrored in every product we deliver. We remain committed to our values as a key driver of customer satisfaction. With this in mind, we recently delivered a Fire Pump House that embodies our values: Safety, Innovation, Responsibility, Collaboration, and Integrity. A safety mindset, creative solutions, sustainability and accountability for results, and engaging others to solve problems with honesty and respect to create value and fulfill commitments. 

A vertical diesel fire water pump was supplied today UL listed and FM approved. Its 18” flanged bowls in duplex material and 10” discharge head also in duplex as well as a flanged high-pressure column 10” in duplex too. A Clarke diesel engine C13H0-UFAD68 at 422HP and 1760RPM was supplied including a right-angle Deran gear drive.

Our pumphouse also includes a controller, Tornatech, model GPD 1PH/60 HZ/12 VDC/ 12O VAC. It includes a low fuel level switch, weekly test alarm contacts, over speed alarm contacts, low oil pressure alarm contacts, high temperature alarm contacts and failure to start alarm contacts. 

Our factory acceptance test, our hydrostatic pressure test, our non-destructive examinations, impeller balancing, and tortional analysis were part of our scope of supply and results were above satisfactory.

A special feature, requested by our customer, was added to our pumphouse. A jib crane with hoist was included to manipulate or remove equipment from the pumphouse using the double hatches on the rooftop.
