Marine businesses operate in an unpredictable environment. Faced with ever tightening emissions regulations, fluctuating fuel prices, and uncertainty around which technologies will take hold, shipowners and operators need greater confidence in their investment decisions.<\/p>\n
Sailing on alternative fuels, such as LNG, ammonia, methanol, and LPG, is one of the most effective ways to minimize a vessel\u2019s environmental footprint and ensure long-term compliance. However, it has been a challenge for the industry to find fuel pump solutions that can not only handle the extreme characteristics of these liquids, but also accommodate different fuel types without the need for pump modifications.<\/p>\n
Introducing the new DesFuel Deepwell Pump<\/strong><\/p>\n The new DesFuel Deepwell Pump from DESMI changes the game. As the world\u2019s first marine fuel pump designed from the ground up for all alternative fuel compatibility and flexibility, it is the perfect solution for Fuel Gas System Suppliers, shipowners, shipyards, and engineering companies looking for trusted performance and reliability, timely delivery, and global technical support.<\/p>\n The new pump\u2019s design is optimized for today\u2019s market needs, having been inspired by DESMI\u2019s cargo gas pump, which has been proven across the global marine industry for performance and reliability since 1996.<\/p>\n As a deepwell pump, the DesFuel Deepwell Pump provides significant benefits over alternative solutions:<\/p>\n Essential components are placed outside the fuel tank for easy access and reducing maintenance costs \u2013 no special components or materials are needed for these, improving reliability, requiring less specialized knowhow, and reducing added heat into the fuel\/cargo tank (minimizing boil-off gas). It also ensures components are easily accessible without emptying the tank first, significantly simplifying maintenance.<\/p>\n Maintenance and repair without gas-freeing \u2013 the pump and drive shaft are installed in a caisson pipe, which can be closed off from the fuel tank. This means the entire pump can be removed, repaired, and reinstalled without costly and time-consuming gas freeing.<\/p>\n No need for filters \u2013 the motor is air cooled and the main bearing is oil lubricated, rather than using the fuel itself. This means that the pump doesn\u00b4t use filters to remove impurities in the fuel, which will inevitably become clogged, resulting in costly maintenance and downtime.<\/p>\n Optimized for low NPSHr \u2013 our pump specialists have optimized the pump\u2019s design for efficiency and very low NPSHr with the use of state-of-the-art CFD tools, which improves usability at lower fuel tank levels.<\/p>\n Ready for all vessels and fuels \u2013 the pump will be available in five sizes to cover all vessel types. It has a wide operating window to cater for different engine loads, reducing the need for recirculation and minimizing boil-off gas. The pump is compatible with all current and future fuels with no additional modifications.<\/p>\n Optimized for your process \u2013 not only is the pump perfect for fuel flexibility, but it is designed for easy installation and compatibility with fuel gas systems. We also support teams and departments globally with all necessary documentation, warranties, after-sales packages and service agreements.<\/p>\n
