Pump and Pump Intake R&D & Testing

Our main areas of expertise include:

• Hydraulic design and development of pumps and pumping systems
• CFD simulations, leveraging over 30 years of experience
• Model testing of pumps to validate performance and optimize design
• Physical model testing and CFD analysis of vertical pump intakes, including hydraulic development of suction structures in accordance with ANSI/HI 9.8
• Mechanical development of centrifugal pumps, including rotordynamics analysis and water hammer calculations
• Independent testing on closed- or open-loop test rigs in compliance with various international standards (ISO 9906), including testing of:
• Model pumps
• Prototype pumps (factory tests)
• Site tests of pumps and pump systems, with flow measurement via current meters or ultrasonic methods

Our integrated approach ensures high performance, reliability, and efficiency for both new and existing pumping systems.
