    Three 70 year old drainage pumps were unable to cope when flooding occurred at a UK power station in 2007. After complete replacement proved impossible due to the age of the pumps. AxFlow engineers examined the system and decided to fit a range of vital bearing and impeller parts which brought the vintage pumps back to required efficiency.
  • Keeping things on an even keel
    Constructing a massive off-shore liquid gas project required transporting temporary living quarters to the site by barge. During loading, the barge had to remain at a constant level with the wharf. To keep the barge steady, pumps had to fill the ballast tanks at a similar flow rate and SPP's Autoprime range fitted the bill.
