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:
