Submersible SAER Pump for Offshore Wind Farm

T-T was delighted to specify and supply a high-performance SAER submersible pump for use as part of a system for remotely cleaning walkways at an offshore wind farm.

The Problem

Our client, one of the world’s leading renewable energy companies, approached T-T with a need to specify a submersible pump for use at an offshore wind turbine farm. 

Supplied to a global leader in offshore wind, the pump would form part of a pipework system used to transfer pressurised seawater for remotely cleaning the turbine’s walkways, making them safe and suitable for operatives to walk on. 

Given the application, it was essential that the pump was constructed from materials suitable for life in seawater. T-T has extensive experience of specifying and supplying pumps for many specialist environments, making us the obvious choice to ensure a fit-for-purpose and reliable long-term solution.

The Solution

T-T’s Technical Sales team selected a XS-151 borehole pump with the support of our partner SAER Elettropompe, one of Europe’s leading manufacturers and suppliers of submersible and surface pumping solutions. The unit’s high specification gives the customer a fit-for-purpose solution that will provide reliable operation long into the future.

Constructed with a full stainless steel outer body and wetted parts suitable for life in seawater, the unit is a 6” Stainless Steel Semi-Axial Submersible Pump complete with an integral non-return valve, designed to deliver the highest levels of performance even in the harshest conditions such as those encountered in offshore environments. 

Specifically, the SAER XS-151 has cast impellers and diffusers that offer excellent wear resistance, together with the standard counter thrust ring and guide bushings. It is suitable for immersion at depths of up to 300m under liquid level and has a maximum working pressure of 45 bar.
