Pumping Seawater

Handling seawater is no simple task; its corrosive nature and unique characteristics demand specialized solutions. AxFlow, with a variety of seawater pumps, tackles these challenges head-on.

Mastering the Challenges of Seawater

Pumping seawater poses unique challenges due to its corrosive nature, elevated specific gravity, and the presence of sand and grit. AxFlow, equipped with an array of seawater pumps, addresses these challenges effectively. Here's an in-depth look at handling seawater complexities and its versatile applications:

Challenges in Pumping Seawater

  • Corrosive Nature: Seawater's corrosiveness demands pumps made from highly resistant materials like stainless steel, bronze, duplex, and super duplex, ensuring durability and longevity.
  • Specific Gravity: Seawater's higher specific gravity requires pumps designed to handle denser fluids, preventing overloading and ensuring efficient operation.
  • Presence of Sand and Grit: Seawater often contains abrasive particles, necessitating robust pump designs to withstand wear and maintain optimal performance.

Examples of Seawater Applications

  • Cooling Systems: Seawater is widely used in industrial cooling processes, absorbing heat from machinery and equipment.
  • Fish Farming: Aquaculture relies on seawater pumps to circulate water, maintain oxygen levels, and provide a conducive environment for marine life.
  • Oil Rigs: Seawater lift pumps are crucial in offshore drilling operations, facilitating various tasks on oil platforms.
  • Aquariums: Public and private aquariums utilize seawater pumps to create natural habitats for marine animals and plants.

AxFlow's expertise in seawater pump selection ensures seamless operations across diverse applications, guaranteeing reliability and performance in challenging marine environments.
