The MarFlex deepwell cargo pump is a vertical single-stage centrifugal pump powered by an electric motor and robustly constructed to efficiently empty any cargo tank.
The size and design of the pumps depend on capacity (m3/hr) and head (mlc), s.g, and viscosity. In the ‘DOUBLE’ design of the MarFlex Deepwell Pump, the drive shaft is in a separate pipe next to the discharge pipe.
The deepwell pump has four main sections;
The electric motor (located on deck)
Deck arrangement (including top cover and deck trunk)
Pipe stack (located in the tank)
Pump head (located in the tank)
The MarFlex deepwell cargo pump is suitable for cargoes up to 100 °C. Special options are available for arctic conditions down to -50 °C. The pumps, including E-motors, are ATEX (ATmosphères EXplosibles) certified.
Types of cargo
The Marflex deepwell cargo pump can handle different types of cargo, e.g., oil products (produce oils and industrial oils) and different kinds of chemicals.
Materials used
All our cargo pumps are standard made with stainless steel A316L. However, due to the different kinds of cargoes that our pumps can handle, we can also supply other materials such as Duplex steel and Super Duplex steel. The MDPD can come equipped with a mechanical seal, which is able to withstand more pressure. The seal is easily replaced meaning that maintenance is simply achieved.
The benefits of the MarFlex Deepwell pump
Total system efficiency is approximately 20% higher compared to a hydraulic-driven system
Low noise levels
Easy and quick installation and commissioning thanks to the electrical drive
Robust and straightforward AC motor
Clean system (no potential leaking of oil on deck)
