Benefits

OPTs Ocean Pumps© combines the high efficiency of a positive-displacement pump with the low maintenance and smooth flow characteristics of centrifugal pumps. Ocean Pumps© have decisive advantages compared to conventional plunger pumps that include :

  • Ultra-Low maintenance (> 8,000 hour maintenance-free operation)

  • Water lubricated (no oil consumables and contamination, storage or oil-related maintenance)

  • Compact and light weight design (half the size and weight of conventional plunger pumps

  • High Efficiency (up to 95%) and resulting lower power requirement

  • Smooth flow (pulsation dampeners not required)

  • Simplicity (1/20 the moving parts)

  • Particulate and wear resistant, patented ceramic bearings maintain peak efficiency over time

  • Corrosion resistant (only ceramic, Duplex SS, and polymer materials used)

  • Easy to maintain (low degree of complexity and compact modules)

  • Easy to operate (fixed flow, positive displacement pump)

  • Effortless scalability (modules from 5-195 gpm; larger flows attained by manifolding together)

Ocean Pumps© also have decisive advantages compared to conventional centrifugal pumps, including:

  • High Efficiency (up to 95%) and resulting lower power requirement

  • Ultra-Low maintenance (> 8,000 hour maintenance-free operation)

  • Particulate and wear resistant, patented, ceramic bearings maintain peak efficiency over time

  • Smooth flow with pulsations less than 1.5%

  • Water lubricated (no oil consumables and contamination, storage or oil-related maintenance)

  • Corrosion resistant (only ceramic, Duplex SS, and polymer materials used)

  • Easy to maintain (low degree of complexity and compact modules)

  • Easy to operate (fixed flow, positive displacement pump)

  • Effortless scalability (modules from 5-200 gpm; larger flows attained by manifolding together)
