Pumps for maritime and nautical sectors

04/10/2022

ARGAL pumping solutions for seawater fit maritime and nautical sectors’ needs perfectly, solving the issue of transferring corrosive liquids, acids and waste. 

Centrifugal and air-operated pumps made of composites, metals or plastic, we offer a complete corrosion-free range for the transfer of seawater, ballast, brine, waste water, refrigerants and others. 


Liquids 

The main liquids pumped in the maritime and nautical sectors are: 

  • Seawater with temperature between 20 and 25°C mainly for aquaria, aquaculture, theme parks and all pools that need an unalterated medium for the basins 

  • Fresh water, cold water depending on the flora and fauna for aquaria, pools

  • Dry bilge water and brine

  • NaOCl (sodium hypochlorite) for continuous dosing, shock-dosing within desalination and electrochlorination processes

  • Refrigerant mainly for boat-cargo-yacht cooling systems


 

ARGAL provides a complete range of solutions for the above liquids and applications, respecting the requirements and needs for any process and system. 

πŸ‘‰ Air-operated double diaphragm pumps

  • ASTRAevo (ideal for dry bilge system, the series is available from size 1/4" to 2" and the recommended material is Aluminum with aluminum center block) 

  • ​QUANTUM (ideal for gentle transfer, like plankton transfer, the series is available in two sizes 1/2" and 1 1/2" and the recommended material is Ultra High Moleculare Weight Polyethylene - PE1000)

πŸ‘‰ Magnetic centrifugal pumps

  • BASIS and PRIMA series (mainly installed for cooling systems, the series offer close-coupled compact version with leakage and vibration-free)

  • ROUTE and RHINO series (available in Polypropylene and E-TFE, both series ensure seawater, acids and waste circulation. ROUTE series is also available in mechanical sealed version and RHINO series self-prime up to 6m length) 

πŸ‘‰ Fiberglass (FRP) centrifugal pumps

  • SATURNevo (entirely made of special Vynilester resin, the renowed series ensures an excellent corrosion and high abrasion resistance.
    Thanks to the use of Kevlar for feet and flanges or carbon-filled FRP for the impeller, the pump general resistance is improved for a longer life cycle and less maintenance costs and operations. The series is also available in compact and sump version) ​​

πŸ‘‰ Sump pumps

  • K2 (thermoplastic vertical sump configuration with 4-meter-length column reinforced with fiberglass for better resistance to corrosion, abrasion, thermal changes. It is ideal for seawater and wastewater treatments)  


Applications

Here's a short reel of the practical applications of these pump ranges related to maritime and nautical markets.
