Nikkiso Launches Pump With Industry-Leading Safety and Reliability for Air Separation Market

TEMECULA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nikkiso Clean Energy & Industrial Gases Group (Nikkiso CE&IG) has today announced the launch of its new multistage process pump (MSPP 210), designed to enhance safety and reduce downtime on air separation equipment.

Nikkiso CE&IG’s research has shown that thanks to new technology used across the pump, including unique lower-side suction, its customers could save more than $30,000 of energy savings every year in a typical application.

Nikkiso CE&IG’s new MSPP holds exclusive hydraulically-balanced impellers and balanced drum – this means it is capable of low, stable axial thrust across all speeds and flow ranges for reliable operation and greatly reducing the risk of vibration and subsequent damage to the pump. Its modular design also means that if servicing is ever required, this can be done quickly and efficiently without removing the entire unit, saving days on downtime and approximately $500,000 on operating expenditure.

Prior to installation, the lower side suction of the pump also removes the need to build significant concrete foundations to accommodate the unit, leading to significant capital expenditure savings.

The MSPP is tailor-made for handling oxygen, but its modular design also means the triple-labyrinth seal can be switched out to handle other gases with minimal disruption.

Emile Bado, President of Nikkiso CE&IG’s Pumps unit, said: “Our customers look to us to help them solve the challenges they face, and we have proven capability in bringing innovative products like this MSPP to market.

“Safety is the priority for us and for our clients, so we take great pride in introducing a product which reduces the risk of damage and outages, all while reducing costs both in installation and in servicing the unit.”
